Author of quotes: Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

When I received the Nobel prize, the only big cash payment that I had to see, had something to do with it. The simplest way to throw this "hot potato" was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew I was approaching the second world war and was afraid that if I'm going to have stocks that will grow in the event of war, I want war. So I asked my agent to purchase shares, which in case of war will fall. He did just that. I lost my money and saved soul.
