I was asked the other day if I would be interested in the Nobel Prize, but I think that for me it would be an absolute catastrophe. I would certainly be interested in deserving it, but to receive it would be terrible. It would just complicate even more the problems of fame.

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
