Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.
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.

This paper of yours is so lightly written that you must have sweated terribly.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
A substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.
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.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
The real scientist is ready to bear privation and, if need be, starvation rather than let anyone dictate to him which direction his work must take.

A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.

Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.

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
Image
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
This celebration here tells me that this work is not hopeless. I thank you for this teaching with all my heart and lift my glass to human solidarity, to the ultimate victory of knowledge, peace, good-will and understanding.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.

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

In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Image
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
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.
