UN speakers' go-to quotes: Ancient texts, modern greats and a little Talking Heads
World3 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported34m ago
Presidents, premiers, monarchs, and cabinet ministers gathering at the annual United Nations General Assembly frequently incorporate outside material into their addresses. During the events, speakers turn to a diverse range of sources to articulate their points.
Rather than relying solely on original remarks, participants at the international assembly borrow words from ancient texts, modern greats, and contemporary culture, including musical references such as the band Talking Heads. Speakers this week also incorporated traditional homeland sayings into their presentations.
