Parul Sehgal quotes:

As the 'critic of color,' I'm frequently asked to review Indian and Pakistani writers.

When we get jealous, we tell stories to ourselves about other people. Jealousy makes you look for intensity rather than accuracy.

Jealousy likes photos, that's why instagram is such a hit.

When I'm walking around, I'm sometimes just perplexed at people who seem like everyday people, people who are on juries, who are in the police force, who are in control of my life in many ways.
