There's some aura about a Nobel Prize, there's a prestige, that gives me a responsibility that I didn't have before, that goes beyond my own work, as a spokesman for science.

Barry Barish

I want to be remembered for the good things - for winning the Champions League, for winning five of the first six trophies at Barcelona.

[ Bob Dylan] should let the Nobel Prize Committee know if he is accepting it or not. He will not be the first one who declines the prize for political or personal reasons. He should just tell them.

Sjon

Mario Vargas Llosa

There is no magical formula for winning a Nobel Prize.

Venkatraman Ramakrishnan

With freedom goes responsibility, a responsibility that can only be met by the individual himself.
