“No job in the world is worth destroying yourself over, even if you work in a brilliant, beautiful place like the NHS. It’s OK to take a break or a breather. It’s also OK to step away altogether, if that’s the right thing to do. In a world of people telling you not to rock the boat, sometimes you have to fuck the boat. Do it with as much love and tenderness as you can manage, but grab your trunks and start swimming. Only you know what’s in your heart – whether it’s becoming a caricaturist in Leicester Square, moving to Chad or moving in with Chad. I promise you’ll sleep a lot better.”

“We can't make death fun, but we can make learning about it fun. Death is science and history, art and literature. It bridges every culture and unites the whole of humanity!”

“To be fair, death is hard! We love someone and then they die. It feels unfair. Sometimes death can be violent, sudden, and unbearably sad. But it’s also reality, and reality doesn’t change just because you don’t like it.”

“When someone you know dies, your memories become the buffer between you and the abyss, the residual glow of your shared experiences still shining the tiniest particles of light into your darkness. They were here, you were together, and their memory prevails for as long as you’re alive to keep it.”
