Acceptance Speech
"Peace in the sense of the
absence of war, is of little
value to someone who is
dying of hunger or cold.
It will not remove the pain
of torture inflicted on a
prisoner of conscience. It
does not comfort those who
have lost their loved ones
in floods caused by senseless
deforestation in a neighboring
country. Peace can only last
where human rights are
respected, where the people
are fed, and where individuals
and nations are free."
