Image
We are all but recent leaves on the same old tree of life and if this life has adapted itself to new functions and conditions, it uses the same old basic principles over and over again. There is no real difference between the grass and the man who mows it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
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
Image
Through the ages, man's main concern was life after death. Today, for the first time, we find we must ask questions about whether there will be life before death.

Image
In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
The source of this energy is the sun's radiation.

Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
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

A substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.

Image
If any student comes to me and says he wants to be useful to mankind and go into research to alleviate human suffering, I advise him to go into charity instead. Research wants real egotists who seek their own pleasure and satisfaction, but find it in solving the puzzles of nature.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
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.

A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
Life is a wondrous phenomenon.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
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
Image
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.

[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.

Image
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.

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.
