Quote by Jean Rostand

When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misund

When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it wont one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic. – Jean Rostand
