Science Quotes by Lincoln Kinnear Barnett (1)

The aims of pure basic science, unlike those of applied science, are neither fast-flowing nor pragmatic. The quick harvest of applied science is the useable process, the medicine, the machine. The shy fruit of pure science is understanding.

— Lincoln Kinnear Barnett

Life, 9 January 1950.
