Quotes
We don't want support for scientific research just to keep scientists busy: we want scientists to be looked upon by the public as people who can do things for them that they can't do themselves.
as quoted by Gordon Shrum. In an article by Robert Craig Brown, The life of Sir John Cunningham McLennan, Physics in Canada, March / April 2000.
