Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

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
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
Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery must be, by definition, at variance with existing knowledge. During my lifetime, I made two. Both were rejected offhand by the popes of the field.

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
This oxidation of hydrogen in stages seems to be one of the basic principles of biological oxidation.
