Interviewer: "As someone who has bridged this gulf [between C.P. Snow's "Two Cultures"], do you see the sciences and humanities as necessarily opposed?"

Nabokov: "I might have compared myself to a Colossus of Rhodes bestriding the gulf between the thermodynamics of Snow and the Laurentomania of Leavis had that gulf not been a mere dimple of a ditch that a small frog could straddle. The terms "physics" and "egghead" as used nowadays evoke in me the dreary image of applied science, the knack of an electrician tinkering with bombs and other gadgets. One of those "Two Cultures" is really nothing but utilitarian technology; the other is B-grade novels, ideological fiction, popular art. Who cares if there exists a gap between such "physics" and such "humanities"? Those Eggheads are terrible Philistines. A real good head is not oval but round.
...
I wouldn't care to categorize writers, the only category being originality and talent. After all, if we start sticking group labels we'll have to put The Tempest in the SF category, and of course thousands of other valuable works."

- Nabokov, from this interview, 1968.
