Art and science Quote by Adam Lashinsky

““A few years later Jobs rhapsodized about Land in an interview with Playboy. “Land was a troublemaker,” Jobs said. “He dropped out of Harvard and founded Polaroid. Not only was he one of the great inventors of our time but, more important, he saw the intersection of art and science and business and built an organization to reflect that.””
