When I received the news of the Nobel Peace Award, I could not believe it. I told my father, 'I think they have the wrong name, Dad. Please, can you talk to this man on the phone? I'm busy cooking!'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I grew up hoping that my father might win a Nobel Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize is not awarded for what one has done, but hopefully what one will do.
I'm not aiming for the Nobel Peace Prize!
Nobel was a genuine friend of peace. He even went so far as to believe that he had invented a tool of destruction, dynamite, which would make war so senseless that it would become impossible. He was wrong.
The Nobel Peace Prize opened up a door in my heart.
I have received the greatest honor in my life - and the greatest surprise. Never did I dream that the Nobel Prize could be awarded for the reciprocal relations.
Nobody really expects a Nobel Prize call.
They can't give a Nobel to someone who's dead so I think they were probably thinking they had better give it to me now before I popped off.
In many ways, when you're a Nobel peace laureate, you have an obligation to humankind, to society.
The Nobel Peace Prize has always been a joke - albeit a grim one. Alfred Bernhard Nobel famously invented dynamite and felt sorry about it.
