That work led to the emergence of the recombinant DNA technology thereby providing a major tool for analyzing mammalian gene structure and function and formed the basis for me receiving the 1980 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Among the great names that adorn the roll of Nobel prize-winners in Medicine is that of Otto Meyerhof, my admired teacher and friend, to whose inspiration, guidance and encouragement I owe so very much.
Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel prize.
If I found a cure for a huge disease, while I was hobbling up onstage to accept the Nobel Prize they'd be playing the theme song from 'Three's Company'.

The Nobel Prize has given me, for the first time in my life, the feeling that my literature could be appreciated on an international level.
As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize.
Some people think the Nobel Prize makes you bullet-proof. I never had that illusion.
I find myself more at peace when I live in Europe.
