Why does man behave like perfect idiot? This is the problem I wish to deal with.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

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

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Had I predicted these discoveries in my applications, and had those authorities been my judges, it is evident what their decisions would have been.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is a wondrous phenomenon.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Whatever a man does he must do first in his mind.
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.

The source of this energy is the sun's radiation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.

Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The American Cancer Society tried to ruin my research foundation.
