Science Quotes by Carl-Gustaf Rossby (1)

Perhaps I occasionally sought to give, or inadvertently gave, to the student a sense of battle on the intellectual battlefield. If all you do is to give them a faultless and complete and uninhabited architectural masterpiece, then you do not help them to become builders of their own.
— Carl-Gustaf Rossby
National Academy of Sciences, Biographical Memoirs Vol. 66 (1995), 86-87.
