Okay I said it wrong leave out the "peace" and make it Nobel Prize for Science. Better? Now don't tell me that there is not one of them as I just looked it up on the web and in fact Marie Curie one the first one for women in 1903. But then, you already knew that.
There isn't one of those either - Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Physics, not "science". They also give one out for chemistry. The real problem, though, is that George Wald never, ever said anything remotely like that quote.
