Your statement is plagiarised, since you're paraphrasing a well-known quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Mizner#Famous_quotes without attribution.

The quote itself represents a cynical, contemptuous view of "research", not a definition at all. And "borrowing" is not the issue here, lack of attribution is.
