Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.
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
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
Senescent judges show how patriotic they are by passing out hard sentences for tearing up a draft card or following one's conscience according to the principles established by our country at the Nuremburg trials.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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
Life is a wondrous phenomenon.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Without energy life would be extinguished instantaneously, and the cellular fabric would collapse.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
This oxidation of hydrogen in stages seems to be one of the basic principles of biological oxidation.
