The key to happiness is not to get more, but to enjoy what we have and to fill the empty frame of our lives instead of enlarging it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
It is impossible to encircle the hips of a girl with my right arm and hold her smile in my left hand, then proceed to study the two items separately. Similarly, we can not separate life from living matter, in order to study only living matter and its reactions. Inevitably, studying living matter and its reactions, we study life itself
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Science has helped us to understand and master ourselves, creating an elevated new form of human life, the wealth and beauty of which cannot be pictured today by the keenest imagination.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The real scientist is ready to bear privation and, if need be, starvation rather than let anyone dictate to him which direction his work must take.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery must be, by definition, at variance with existing knowledge. During my lifetime, I made two. Both were rejected offhand by the popes of the field.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.
