More quotes by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.
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
Without energy life would be extinguished instantaneously, and the cellular fabric would collapse.
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
[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is water, dancing to the tune of solids.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Life is a wondrous phenomenon.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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
In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
If structure does not tell us anything about function, it means that we have not looked at it correctly.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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.
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
A substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
The source of this energy is the sun's radiation.
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
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
If I go out into nature, into the unknown, to the fringes of knowledge, everything seems mixed up and contradictory, illogical, and incoherent. This is what research does it smooths out contradictions and makes things simple, logical, and coherent.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
