I studied at a grammar school and later at the University of Vienna in the Faculty of Medicine.

After the first exams, I switched to the Faculty of Philosophy and studied Zoology in Munich and Vienna.

I received my doctorate from the University of Vienna in 1910.

The ant is a collectively intelligent and individually stupid animal; man is the opposite.

The bees life is like a magic well the more you draw from it the more it fills with water.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.

There is no aphrodisiac like innocence.

Art, a book, a painting, a song, can definitely inspire change, whether it's a small change or a big change but you know there's novels I've read or a scene in a film that I've seen where I definitely inspired something and made a change or addressed an issue in my life or done something cliche like make a phone call.

I came into this environment where there was so much love, so much positive energy. I never heard my parents say, 'We have adopted kids.' The minute my sister Linda and I landed in Sweden, we were their kids.

It seems to be a law in American life that whatever enriches us anywhere except in the wallet inevitably becomes uneconomic.

My interest is not data, it's the world. And part of world development you can see in numbers. Others, like human rights, empowerment of women, it's very difficult to measure in numbers.

If folks focus in on a niche and own it, there is a good chance they could make half a living from blogging.

In Sydney, I gave what was billed as a masterclass to bright students of writing at the University of Sydney. But the term 'masterclass' was possibly over-egging the pudding. All I could do was pass on some lessons from my own life, and the most obvious is that if you want to be a writer, you must first have been a reader.

I just like seeing the world, and it doesn't matter where.

Sexual performance problems, such as impotence and frigidity, are 70 to 90 percent changeable. But a homosexual who wants to be a heterosexual - that's close to unchangeable.
