    I'm smarter and more talented than any of the idiots you gave prizes to literature for. My books are way more important than theirs. The only reason I haven't won the prize every year for the past twenty years for literature (see my classic work: The Blind Watchmaker) is because the Nobel committee is too stupid to realize that my writing is of equal, no, superior worth than some tripe written by Joseph Conrad.
