Applied Sciences

Famous quotes containing the words applied and/or sciences:

““The worst reporter, even for his age, in New York,” was the affectionate epithet applied to me.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“These modern ingenious sciences and arts do not affect me as those more venerable arts of hunting and fishing, and even of husbandry in its primitive and simple form; as ancient and honorable trades as the sun and moon and winds pursue, coeval with the faculties of man, and invented when these were invented. We do not know their John Gutenberg, or Richard Arkwright, though the poets would fain make them to have been gradually learned and taught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
