The Nobel Prize is an honor unique in the world in having found its way into the hearts and minds of simple people everywhere. It casts a light of peace and reason upon us all and for that I am especially grateful.

I cannot think of anything more difficult than to say something which would be worthy of this impressive and for me memorable occasion and of the ideals and purposes which inspired the Nobel Peace Award.

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

The Nobel Peace Prize opened up a door in my heart.

The reason why I'm here today is to explain why I am running and what I will do if you give me the honor and the privilege of representing you in the United States Senate. Now I'm running for the United State Senate for a simple reason and that is...I want to win a Nobel Peace prize.

In many ways when you're a Nobel peace laureate you have an obligation to humankind to society.

The minute you got the Nobel Peace Prize things that I said yesterday with nobody paying too much attention I say the same things after I got it - oh! It was quite crucial for people and it helped our morale because apartheid did look invincible.

It's lovely to have money to give away - that's the bonus of winning the Nobel.

Alfred Nobel was much concerned as are we all with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.

Many Nobel Prizes are awaiting good research to understand and explain the many mysteries of our bodies such as the basic mechanism of memory or imagination.
