To avoid being mistaken for a sellout I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

I don't believe in firing professors. They have academic freedom.

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

I think about food all the time. It's my passion it's my profession. But some people think about food all the time because they're hungry. We can put an end to this if we join forces and lend a hand.

My mom was a professional fitness competitor so I go into the gym with her. I train with my dad and mother. It's embarrassing because she's really strong.

I do a one-hour workout called Drenched a cardio-boxing fitness routine Monday through Friday. There are usually between twenty-five and fifty people there - everyone from stay-at-home moms and professional martial artists to teenagers and seniors. They play great dance music. When I can I take two classes back-to-back.

Parentage is a very important profession but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.

I'm still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did.

I have a lot of trouble understanding all the detail of finance and administration - but if you combine intellectual and professional capacity with a social conscience you can change things: countries structures economic models colonial states.

I worked with a group of people who argued day and night - professors officials the Minister of Finance - but there were decisions that I had to make.

My greatest fear is feeling like a professional novelist. Somebody who creates characters who sits down and has pieces of paper taped to the wall - what's going to happen in this scene or this act. What I like is for it to be a much more scary sloppy reflection of who I am.

I don't want to be famous famous. I'm happy on the second tier where I have autonomy on a professional level but I can still go out to the movies without being recognized.

I wanted to be a political science professor and go to school in Boston. I never wanted to be a big famous movie star and TV star. It kind of found me.

I served the famous professors and scholars and eventually they learned that the Reverend Moon is superior to them. Even Nobel laureate academics who thought they were at the center of knowledge are as nothing in front of me.

When you become famous being famous becomes your profession.

There's no difference between fame and infamy now. There's a new school of professional famous people that don't do anything. They don't create anything.

The countries who do the best in international comparisons whether it's Finland or Japan Denmark or Singapore do well because they have professional teachers who are respected and they also have family and community which support learning.

The practice of patience toward one another the overlooking of one another's defects and the bearing of one another's burdens is the most elementary condition of all human and social activity in the family in the professions and in society.

I'm still going to make mistakes but I don't have any problems with publicly professing my faith now. It just took me a long time to get to the right place in my relationship with Christ.

No one else in our family was a professional musician so this took an enormous leap of faith on their part.

Machiavelli's teaching would hardly have stood the test of Parliamentary government for public discussion demands at least the profession of good faith.

Every life is a profession of faith and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.

To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent but with great inner drive go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.
