... I got to hold out for that

‎"I know I have got to hold out for that. They don't give it to you if you have passed away. I got to hold out for that."
- Dr Ralph M. Steinman, who passed away 3 days before he hears of his Nobel prize for medicine.  He shares the 2011 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Dr Bruce A. Beutler and Dr Jules A. Hoffmann
