Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Life is water, dancing to the tune of macromolecules.

A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.

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

A vitamin is a substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.

Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought.

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

The foodstuff, carbohydrate, is essentially a packet of hydrogen, a hydrogen supplier, a hydrogen donor, and the main event during its combustion is the splitting off of hydrogen.

When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.
