Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Quotes

• A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.

• Discovery is seeing what everybody else has seen, and thinking what nobody else has thought.

• 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.

• Research is four things: brains with which to think, eyes with which to see, machines with which to measure and, fourth, money.

• 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 died on October 22, 1986 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts at the age of 93.
