Top 1200 Art And Science Quotes & Sayings - Page 20

And a lot of artists agreed to play that game, which I personally believe is to the loss of art.

No doubt science cannot admit of compromises, and can only bring out the complete truth. Hence there must be controversy, and the strife may be, and sometimes must be, sharp.
