Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
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.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Think boldly. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Don't miss small details, keep your eyes open and be modest in everything except your aims.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is a wondrous phenomenon.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The source of this energy is the sun's radiation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
I am the son of a small and far-away nation and the other laureates have all come from different countries from all over the world and we all were equally received here with signs of sympathy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
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
