Forget about Nobel prizes; they aren't really very important.

There is no other prize in any country that carries the prestige that a Nobel bestows.

I'm not aiming for the Nobel Peace Prize!

I thought they would never select an Eastern writer for the Nobel. I was surprised.

I've always felt that the Nobel Prize gives me nothing as far as science is concerned.

I'm never going to be in danger of getting the Nobel Prize for literature.

Nobel prizes are very special prizes, and it would be great to get one.

The Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded for what one has done, but hopefully what one will do.

The Nobel Prize is without doubt the highest honour, the most coveted honour, which can be bestowed on a scientist.

The Nobel Peace Prize has become hopelessly politicized. I think it cheapens the prize itself.
