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

Craig Venter

No more prizes for predicting the rain, only prizes for building the arks

Don Edward Beck

There may be certain genres that men dominate, but fiction not so much. The question of prizes is tricky because there are so many prizes.

Emma Donoghue

I'm not sure that the culture of literary prizes is always a good thing, but while there are literary prizes, it's nice to be nominated.

Sally Rooney

Prizes are like butterflies, colorful butterflies that fly away. I don't believe in prizes much.

Lina Wertmuller

I am, of course, greatly honoured to win the Booker, which is one of the great literary prizes in the world.

Richard Flanagan

The great esteem in which the Nobel prizes are universally held is due to the fact that for several generations they have been given purely on scientific merit and not through lobbying and politicking. I do hope that it will stay this way, and the prizes will never be given according to the number of votes in live TV contests!

Andre Geim

I've been very lucky with prizes. But the thing about prizes is that, when you talk about a prize-winning author, you can be talking about one that is well-regarded but doesn't sell any books.

Jim Crace

I understand that it's the music that keeps me alive... That's my lifeblood. And to give that up for, like, the TV, the cars, the houses - that's not the American dream. That's the booby prize, in the end. Those are the booby prizes. And if you fall for them - if, when you achieve them, you believe that this is the end in and of itself - then you've been suckered in. Because those are the consolation prizes, if you're not careful, for selling yourself out, or letting the best of yourself slip away.

Bruce Springsteen

Most of the ones [Nobel prizes] that have gone to Muslims have been peace prizes, and the [number of Muslims] who have gotten them for scientific work is exceedingly low. But in Jews, it is exceedingly high.

Richard Dawkins

Parts win prizes, not actors.

Alan Rickman

As a player, you always want to win prizes.

Thibaut Courtois

For me, football is not about money - I want to win prizes.

Romelu Lukaku

It's no secret that Europeans and Americans win most Nobel prizes.

Max Fisher

Without the book business it would be difficult or impossible for true books to find their true readers and without that solitary (and potentially subversive) alone with a book the whole razzmatazz of prizes, banquets, television spectaculars, bestseller lists, even literature courses, editors and authors, are all worthless. Unless a book finds lovers among those solitary readers, it will not live . . . or live for long.

John McGahern

If the team is doing well, there are more chances to win individual prizes.
