More quotes by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
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.
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
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
This oxidation of hydrogen in stages seems to be one of the basic principles of biological oxidation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is not a systematic occupation but an intuitive artistic vocation.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Think boldly. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Don't miss small details, keep your eyes open and be modest in everything except your aims.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.
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
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
In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
Why does man behave like perfect idiot? This is the problem I wish to deal with.
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
Knowledge is a sacred cow, and my problem will be how we can milk her while keeping clear of her horns.
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
Without energy life would be extinguished instantaneously, and the cellular fabric would collapse.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
