[net.misc] Who said that ?

ecn-ec:ecn-pc:ecn-ed:vu@pur-ee.UUCP (07/28/83)

Some time ago, I read some where ( probably on the cover of a book
on Applied Math ) the quote: "Let's apply the pure and purify the
applied" (or the other way around: "Let's purify ... and apply..").
Does anybody know who said that ? 

A thanks in advance for whoever provides information.
