“Writing is how I find out what I believe and what I care most deeply a...” — Pico Iyer Quote

“Writing is how I find out what I believe and what I care most deeply about. It's how I sort through the mess of daily experience and try to make sense of it - by stepping out of it for a while. Writing is how I train a searchlight into the darker corners of my self and the world, as I'm sure I'd never do otherwise.”

“The central paradox of the machines that have made our lives so much brighter, quicker, longer and healthier is that they cannot teach us how to make the best use of them; the information revolution came without an instruction manual.”

“The less you struggle with a problem, the more it's likely to solve itself. The less time you spend frantically running around, the more productive you are likely to be.”

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”

“Certainly, I think Canada is many years ahead of the curve and still the great global pioneer.”

“Since I travel to the four corners of this planet for work, I don't need sun holidays or that kind of thing.”

“No matter how hard you throw it or what you've got out there, you've just got to find a way to compete. For me, I think it's just keeping the ball down, locating my fastball and keeping it on the corners.”

“Growing up, if I hadn't had sports, I don't know where I'd be. God only knows what street corners I'd have been standing on and God only knows what I'd have been doing, but instead I played hockey and went to school and stayed out of trouble.”

“I think that our family is very fortunate, very lucky, that on their own merit, from themselves, using whatever means necessary, singing Qawwali, in all corners and areas, in every place, singing in villages, they've promoted it.”

“They pollute. It's not because morally they have a problem, but more because the mechanism now is rewarding those who cut corners to save cost.”

“Cyber criminals are good... but they cut corners. They don't spend a lot of time tweaking things and making sure that every aspect of the attack is obfuscated.”
