Scaachi Koul
“Plenty of people take a gap year between high school and university to travel, or spend a summer back-packing through Europe to “find” themselves. (A bullshit statement if ever there was one. Where do you think you’ll be? No one finds anything in France except bread and pretension, and frankly, both of those are in my lap right now.)”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter: Essays

Samantha Irby
“I have never—and I mean ever—had a real desire to let otherwise-unaccounted-for money just chill in my bank account unmolested for more than maybe a week and a half. I barely have the willpower to leave other people’s money alone for the short time it’s in my custody. Money that isn’t earmarked for some pressing (transportation/pharmaceutical/credit card balance) need?! Why, yes, I do need fourteen nearly identical blushes, thank you.”
Samantha Irby, We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.

Scaachi Koul
“I'm not white, no, but I'm just close enough that I could be, and just far enough that you know I'm not. I can check off a diversity box for you and I don't make you nervous - at least not on the surface. I'm the whole package!”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter

Scaachi Koul
“It changes you, when you see someone similar to you doing the thing you might want to do yourself. That kind of writing--writing by people that aren't in the majority--its sheer visibility on your bookshelf or your television or your internet, is sometimes received similarly to my call for more of that work. It's responded to with racism or sexism or homophobia or transphobia. We are deeply afraid of making marginalized voices stronger, because we think it makes privileged ones that much weaker.”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter

Scaachi Koul
“Mom used to tell me that white people don't understand us, would never understand us, even when they are well-meaning and patient...I thought she was being reductive and unforgiving, but she might have known something I didn't: how do I explain to [my white boyfriend], who feels only love and little obligation, that my life comes with an excess of the latter? You marry into this, whether you like it or not.”
Scaachi Koul, One Day We'll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter
