University Professors Quotes

• Of all the human qualities, the one I admire the most is competence. A tailor who is really able to cut and fit a coat seems to me an admirable man, and by the same token a university professor who knows little or nothing of the thing he presumes to teach seems to me to be a fraud and a rascal.

• What is Camille Paglia doing, writing that an actress as gifted as Anne Heche has the mental depth of a pancake? How many pancake brains could do what Heche did with David Mamet's dialogue in Wag the Dog? No doubt Heche has been stuck with a few bad gigs, but Paglia, of all people, must be well aware that being an actress is not the same safe ride as being the tenured university professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

• My father was a university professor and his thing was tenure. Any time I hear a university professor say tenure, I hear the word dinosaur. You're not supposed to be getting tenure. You're supposed to be figuring out how you can teach more students at a better price and more effectively. That's your job.

  Robert Kiyosaki

• After all, if you believe that no one was ever corrupted by a book, you also have to believe that no one was ever improved by a book (or a play or a movie). You have to believe, in other words, that all art is morally trivial and that, consequently, all education is morally irrelevant. No one, not even a university professor, really believes that.

[T]he Iranian journalist and diplomat Ali Dashti...repeatedly took his fellow Muslims to task for not questioning the traditional accounts of Muhammad's life, much of which he called myth-making and miracle-mongering.

• Considérelo en su encarnación más elevada: el profesor universitario. ¿Cuál es su función? Sencillamente, transmitir a las nuevas generaciones de imbéciles un conjunto de supuestos conocimientos fragmentarios, intrascendentes y, en gran parte, falsos. Toda su actividad profesional está circunscrita por los prejuicios, vanidades y avaricias de los administradores de su universidad, es decir, un comité de jaboneros, fabricantes de clavos, directores de bancos y políticos. En el momento en que ofende a estas alimañas, se hunde. No puede ni pensar en voz alta sin correr el riesgo de que le abaniquen las bragas.

  H. L. Mencken

• The difference between you, if you consider yourself not enlightened, and an enlightened master is not that the enlightened master has more knowledge. University professors have knowledge, and many enlightened masters have very little knowledge. Jesus probably had less knowledge than any university professor alive today in terms of raw information. Even a relatively uneducated person has more information than Jesus or Buddha ever had about things, such as political things and so on.

  Eckhart Tolle
