Until the June 1967 war I was completely caught up in the life of a young professor of English. Beginning in 1968 I started to think write and travel as someone who felt himself to be directly involved in the renaissance of Palestinian life and politics.

I think travel is probably the downside of playing professional golf but you've got to do it.

It's very expensive to be a professional tennis player with all the travel and the flights and the hotels and everything.

Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and at the same time selling yourself.

I will forever be thankful to the Malawians and international community and my professional army and army general who said: 'No we will follow the constitution.' That's why I'm here.

Technology has been and always will be my one true passion professionally.

You cannot make thousands of universities or hundreds of thousands of professors but with technology and the Internet you can have great courses and make a digital university.

My grandfather on my mother's side was a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology my other grandfather was a lawyer and one time Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives.

I was born in Norway and when I was little I went to live in Detroit Michigan. My father was a professor of philosophy at Wayne University and my mother was also a teacher.

Jackson went from the professor's chair to the officer's saddle. He carried with him the very elements of character which made him odious as a teacher but I never saw him in an arbitrary mood.
