Nobel Prize In Literature Quotes

“When the pirate Sir Francis Drake attacked Riohacha in the sixteenth century Úrsula Iguarán's great-great-grandmother became so frightened with the ringing of alarm bells and the firing of cannons that she lost control of her nerves and sat down on a lighted stove. The burns turned her into a useless for the rest of her days.”

“همین جرقه های خرد حیاط مدرسه آدم را از کوره در بر می برد، همین اولین کلمه های تکان دهنده و عجیب آدمهاست که هیچ وقت نمی شود فراموش کرد، چرا که اتفاقات بعد، نمک روی زخم اند.”

“When the lyrical muse sings the creative pen dances.”

“Literary Awards offer no guarantee that the fame they create will last. Today, not many readers know the authors who won the Nobel prize in literature in the thirties, forties, fifties or even nineties. But, who doesn’t know William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo or Jean-Paul Sartre who stood the test of time without winning a prestigious prize?”

“The majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lies. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed.”

“Literary award judges have the power to select a prize winner, granting them fame and potentially turning their book into a bestseller. However, determining the best book of the year remains a subjective endeavor. It is not surprising, then, that different panels consistently choose different winners from the same pool of submissions.”

“Give AI the right to perform any task that a human editor normally performs” in the realm of writing. These include drafting, proofreading, rephrasing, suggesting improvements in clarity or tone, identifying inconsistencies, proposing titles, summarizing content, and recommending structural edits. All of these are traditional editorial tasks, and there is no reason AI should be excluded from doing the same.”

“To excuse one for human assistance yet condemn another for AI assistance is a serious mistake the literary world is making — one that future generations will not forgive. AI will, without doubt, be recognized as a legitimate part of the creative process. And when that time comes, those future generations will look back and measure the damage caused by today’s double standards — the barriers that silenced authentic voices and denied deserving writers recognition and opportunity simply for using technology to express their feelings, share their visions, and communicate their experiences with the world.”

“Neka mi samo niko ne kaže za nekog: nevin je. Samo to ne. Jer ovde nema nevinih. Niko ovde nije slučajno. Je li prešao prag ove Avlije, nije on nevin. Skrivio je nešto, pa ma to bilo u snu. Ako ništa drugo, majka mu je, kad ga je nosila, pomislila nešto rđavo. Svaki, dabogme, kaže da nije kriv, ali za toliko godina koliko sam ovde, ja još nisam našao da je neko bez razloga i bez neke krivice doveden. Ko ovde dođe, taj je kriv, ili se makar očešao o krivca. Phi! Pustio sam ih dosta, i po naredbi i na svoju odgovornost, da. Ali kriv je bio svaki. Ovde nevinog čoveka nema. Ali ima ih na hiljade krivih koji nisu ovde i nikad neće ni doći, jer kad bi svi krivi dospeli ovamo, ova bi Avlija morala biti od mora do mora. Ja ljude znam, krivi su svi, samo nije svakom pisano da ovde hleb jede.”
