A Quote by Pico Iyer

If we want to talk about Gross Natural Product, we have to talk about the King of Bhutan's index of Gross National Happiness, too.

From the point of view of the economy, the sale of weapons is indistinguishable from the sale of food.

I'm just gonna talk about being Nigerian-American. I'm gonna talk about being single. I'm gonna talk about what happened to me on the train today. I'm gonna talk about so many other things that, as a comic, you're able to talk about because you see the world in sarcasm.

I belong to a bowling team with black and Latino coworkers. And when we get together and we talk about politics - I'm almost quoting him - he said, we don't talk about Black Lives Matters.
