Normally, I like to eat at home. We don't go out much. The food at home is so good.
From Martti Ahtisaari
Luck has a lot to do with how your life develops.
I saw an advertisement to work for a Swedish institute in Karachi in Pakistan. I had just been offered a permanent assignment, teaching in Oulu. But I felt, 'My God, I am not going to stay here forever.' You know why? Because I was following international events.
In the last year of my presidency, I travelled 200 days out of 365. You have to lead a very disciplined life. To be able to do that, I need a lot of sleep. But I have no problems sleeping. On long days, I can easily take a nap for 20 minutes in the afternoon.
Perhaps it's a curse, but when you are a Lutheran, you have a sense of responsibility.
Religions themselves are... peace-loving. They can also be a constructive force in peace-building, and this also applies to the Middle East.
