Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.
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
Research is four things: brains with which to think, eyes with which to see, machines with which to measure and, fourth, money.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The American Cancer Society tried to ruin my research foundation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Knowledge is a sacred cow, and my problem will be how we can milk her while keeping clear of her horns.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Investigations during the last few decades have brought hydrogen instead of carbon, and instead of CO2 water, the mother of all life, into the foreground.
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
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
This paper of yours is so lightly written that you must have sweated terribly.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
If structure does not tell us anything about function, it means that we have not looked at it correctly.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
