More quotes by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
This paper of yours is so lightly written that you must have sweated terribly.
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
Here we stand in the middle of this new world with our primitive brain, attuned to the simple cave life, with terrific forces at our disposal, which we are clever enough to release, but whose consequences we cannot comprehend.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Senescent judges show how patriotic they are by passing out hard sentences for tearing up a draft card or following one's conscience according to the principles established by our country at the Nuremburg trials.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

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
Life is a wondrous phenomenon.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Water, the Hub of Life. Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium. Water is the most extraordinary substance! Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building material for its machinery. Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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
[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Why does man behave like perfect idiot? This is the problem I wish to deal with.
