Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
If I go out into nature, into the unknown, to the fringes of knowledge, everything seems mixed up and contradictory, illogical, and incoherent. This is what research does it smooths out contradictions and makes things simple, logical, and coherent.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
This paper of yours is so lightly written that you must have sweated terribly.
