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.

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.

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.

Research is to see what everybody has seen and to think what nobody else has thought.
