Quotes by William Shockley (?)

“It has today occurred to me that an amplifier using semiconductors rather than vacuum is in principle possible.

[Laboratory notebook, 29 Dec 1939.]”

“Frequently, I have been asked if an experiment I have planned is pure or applied science; to me it is more important to know if the experiment will yield new and probably enduring knowledge about nature. If it is likely to yield such knowledge, it is, in my opinion, good fundamental research; and this is more important than whether the motivation is purely aesthetic satisfaction on the part of the experimenter on the one hand or the improvement of the stability of a high-power transistor on the other.”
