I used the Nobel money to buy a house and for the education of my children.

The years since the Nobel Prize have been productive ones for me.

It is the Nobel Prize I want. It's worth $400,000.

I'm not sure whether I could win a Nobel Prize or not, but the Nobel Committee called me, and, 'You got the Nobel Prize.' So, I was so, so happy, and I was so surprised.

I wish to thank the Nobel Foundation for granting me the greatest honor to which a scientist may aspire.

The tremendous honour of the Nobel Prize is of the strongest incentive to me in my work, while the amount of the Prize will greatly simplify my task and provide me with much valuable help in my work.

The Nobel Prize is given as a personal award but it also honors the field of research in which I have worked and it also honors my students and colleagues.

I am delighted to have had students, friends and colleagues in so many nations and to have learned so much of what I know from them. This Nobel Award honours them all.

I grew up hoping that my father might win a Nobel Prize.

My wife thought I deserved it, but I always thought the Nobel a Western prize.
