Famous Lokesh Tuli Quotes

“To be chalant is to care. It is to care so much, so fiercely, and so recklessly that it makes you look like a goddamn fool. And let’s be honest, nobody wants to look like a fool anymore. That’s the root of this whole 'nonchalant' sickness. It is pure, unadulterated fear.”

“Keep moving like a man late for destiny's call. You are surrounded by people terrified of nothing at all. Terrified of silence, so they fill up the space, with real estate, keto diets, and the weather in this place. With a new season of a show you haven't watched yet. You don't need to listen. You just need to sweat at their frequency. Nod every six seconds on the dot. Laugh when the group laughs, whether it's funny or not.”

“It happens the second you leave the reservation. Not for a vacation. Not for a resort where they speak English and bring you drinks with little umbrellas. The world stops being a globe sitting on a teacher’s desk and becomes a living, breathing, bleeding animal. You see how big it is. You see how terrifyingly small you are.”
