Rachel Sklar Quotes

In university, in a vain attempt to stave off the frosh fifteen, I used to melt fat-free cheese over broccoli, onions and cauliflower in the cafeteria microwave. That earned me few friends Picture Quote #1

Not only do I not drive, I don’t have my driver’s license; there’s a story there, but the upshot is that I spent my high school years an ardent environmentalist and workout junkie who wanted to save the environment, burn calories, and have my boyfriends drive me around Picture Quote #1

Seeing how easy it has been to use Twitter for good has exposed the double-edged sword of how easy it could be to co-opt Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind other guys seeing movies I want to see and then writing about them. That’s fine, especially when it’s the ‘New Yorker’’s Anthony Lane, because he knows this stuff pretty well Picture Quote #1

The Crumbling of America’ should be required viewing for local and national government, not to mention the local and national media who should be keeping their feet to the fire on guarding against disaster Picture Quote #1

Flying over New Orleans on our approach, I got it. There was no view of land without water - water in the great looming form of Lake Pontchartrain, water cutting through in tributaries, water flowing beside a long stretch of highway, water just - everywhere Picture Quote #1

I’m Jewish, but not overly religious, and have certainly never formally observed the Fourth Commandment, other than via the tradition of wearing white on Friday nights at summer camp, which never seemed to dovetail with the fact that Fridays were also the night for grape juice Picture Quote #1

We live in a world now where everything is tweeted and Instagrammed and tagged and now, God help us, Vined. Calling out grievances over Twitter has become an industry norm Picture Quote #1

If you care about the news and write what you want to read - not just what you think Google search wants to read - there are people out there who want to read it Picture Quote #1

I’m a Canadian who can’t vote, so far be it from me to speak for what Americans want. But, I am also a close observer of politics and media in this country, and the intersection of both - and how both intersect, and overlap with, each other Picture Quote #1

My first introduction to New Orleans was from the air, flying high over the city with a view of the land - and water - below Picture Quote #1

Women as a raw demographic unit exercise incredible power across every element of American life Picture Quote #1

I took a job at a white-shoe NYC law firm, with an office, business cards, and a fat starter paycheck Picture Quote #1

I didn’t go to law school to become a lawyer, per se - let’s just say I was leaning in to some strong suggestions from my parents - but my nebulous goals of someday becoming a writer were just that, nebulous Picture Quote #1

Less than two weeks before my 34th birthday, I bought pots. Most people were amazed that I did not previously own pots, but that was before I explained that I had never used my oven, and used my stovetop for my dishrack Picture Quote #1

Twitter is an astounding platform for information, but it’s a total blank slate - which means it’s an astounding platform for disinformation, too Picture Quote #1

I don’t fault my former law firm for running their business like a business or expecting their new hire to be worth the obscene rate she was billed out at, but fun it was not Picture Quote #1
