Statement by the Nobel committee:
“When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended - with words, with courage and with determination.“

Somebody gave me this body—what do I do with it now? It's a very remarkable body, and nobody's body but mine. I'm alive and I breathe, I'm strong and tall- won't somebody tell me who to thank for it all? I'm the gardener and the flower, too, And in this prison of a world l'm not alone. When I move, when I breathe, I leave my mark on the everlasting windowpane that keeps out the dark. It's the mark of myself! And that mark will remain on the cold transparence of that windowpane. Life beyond the glass may darken, day to day, but my mark on that windowpane will never go away. Osip Mandelstam, translated from the Russian by Paul Schmidt (1909)
