Davos is my university.

But beginners to the World Economics Forum have to understand there is no single Davos experience, and there is no single Davos community either. There are numerous tribes who interact only at a minimal level.

Ideally the world would look like Davos, where there's more security than we can even see on the street.

My favorite conference so far has been Davos, the World Economic Forum. The people there were really incredible.

I was perceiving myself as good as a man or equal to a man and as powerful and I wanted to look ambiguous because I thought that was a very interesting statement to make through the media. And it certainly did cause quite a few ripples and interest and shock waves.

Here in Davos, it is generally assumed that there is now only one god - the market.

And, as I have said, it's made me think twice about the imagination. If the spirits aren't external, how astonishing the mediums become! Victor Hugo said of his voices that they were like his own mental powers multiplied by five.

The Spirit is a kind of postmodern loner hero. He comes from nowhere; he has no real relationship to anything.

The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.

The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and make the most of one's resources.
