Morton Gurtin in his 2004 Timoshenko Medal Acceptance Speech (according to Wikipedia):
"Good theoretical science is
done by a few dedicated people working alone or with one or two colleagues;
this science does not need the
large grants that
have made prostitutes of most of us, including me. The need to be relevant,
the need to be applicable to industry; these
are not forces
that lead to advances; what leads to advances, often spectacular, is simply
the curiosity of the individual scientist, just as
Einstein's curiosity
about the structure of space-time led to the theory of relativity. Big
science is a driving force for mediocrity."
