It is not possible for me to express all that I feel of appreciation
for what has been said and given to me.
I accept, for myself, with the conviction of having received
far beyond what I have been able to give in my books.
I can only hope that the many books which I have yet to write
will be in some measure a worthier acknowledgment than I can make tonight.
And, indeed, I can accept only in the same spirit
in which I think this gift was originally given
that it is a prize not so much for what has been done, as for the future.
Whatever I write in the future must, I think,
be always benefited and strengthened when I remember this day.
I accept,too, for my country,the United States of America.
We are a people still young and we know that we have not yet come to the fullest of our powers.
This award, given to an American, strengthens not only one,
but the whole body of American writers,
who are encouraged and heartened by such generous recognition.
And I should like to say, too, that in my country
it is important that this award has been given to a woman.
You who have already so recognized your own Selma Lagerlof,
and have long recognized women in other fields,
cannot perhaps wholly understand what it means in many countries
that it is a woman who stands here at this moment.
But I speak not only for writers and for women, but for all Americans,
for we all share in this.
I should not be truly myself if I did not, in my own wholly unofficial way,
speak also of the people of China,whose life has for so many years been my life also,
whose life,indeed, must always be a part of my life.
The minds of my own country and China, my foster country, are alike in many ways,
but above all, alike in our common love of freedom.
And today more than ever, this is true,
now when Chinas whole being is engaged in the greatest of all the struggles,
the struggle for freedom.
I have never admired China more than I do now,
when I see her uniting as she has never before,
against the enemy who threatens her freedom.
With this determination for freedom,
which is in so profound a sense the essential quality of her nature,
I know that she is unconquerable.
Freedomit is today more than ever the most precious human possession.
WeSweden and the United Stateswe have it still.
My country is youngbut it greets you with a peculiar fellowship,
you whose earth is ancient and free
