I'm hugely honored [with the Man Booker Prize]..

I was never going to be one of Nobel prize winners..

Life is hell, but at least there are prizes. Or so one thought..

Every time you quit, someone else gets your prize. Every time you make a mistake, you get closer to yours..

I don't make films to win prizes. I make films to make films..

The only prize much cared for by the powerful is power. The prize of the general is not a bigger tent, but command..

Not being a poet, I prize truth above beauty..

The rapture of pursuing is the prize the vanquished gain..

Prize that which is best in the universe; and this is that which useth everything and ordereth everything..

There are no prizes for average performance..

The prize is always worth the rocky ride..

Confidence is the prize given to the mediocre.

Competition exists to choose who gets the prize when the prize can’t be shared..

If you hesitate, some bolder hand will stretch out before you and get the prize..

The years since the Nobel Prize have been productive ones for me..

Those who act receive the prizes..

It is the Nobel Prize I want. It's worth $400,000..

As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work..

Virginity, albeit some highly prize it, Compared with marriage, had you tried them both, Differs as much as wine and water doth..

We like the gift when we the giver prize..

I am really honoured but if the prize had gone to Mahatma Gandhi before me I would have been more honoured.
