More quotes by 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
Why does man behave like perfect idiot? This is the problem I wish to deal with.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
This paper of yours is so lightly written that you must have sweated terribly.
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. Had I predicted these discoveries in my applications, and had those authorities been my judges, it is evident what their decisions would have been.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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
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
I called it ignose, not knowing which carbohydrate it was. This name was turned down by my editor. 'God-nose' was not more successful, so in the end 'hexuronic acid' was agreed upon. To-day the substance is called 'ascorbic acid' and I will use this name.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Without energy life would be extinguished instantaneously, and the cellular fabric would collapse.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The American Cancer Society tried to ruin my research foundation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The source of this energy is the sun's radiation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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.
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. 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
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.
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
[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.
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
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
