“dealing with the links between poverty and ill health by trying to provide more money is no different, to me, from seeing a patient with pneumonia and prescribing antibiotics: in each station, i'm simply giving appropriate treatment. just as certain medicines are appropriate treatments for particular diseases, so more money, or holidays, or a better house, may also improve my patients health.”
― Gavin Francis, Recovery: The Lost Art of Convalescence

“We are both wounded in our own way and, like a pair of tectonic plates shifting over time, our wounds will gradually grate against one another’s, causing damage at a glacial pace. Neither one of us will notice until it’s too late.”

“I'm not sure I definitely don't want children, I'm just not sure I definitely do want children, and I think that anything short of a deep desire in your mind, body, and soul to have one is not a good enough reason to do it.”

“I sometimes wonder if it’s possible for a person to inherit a set of habits, a connection to a place, or a propensity towards loving bad men, like the ability to roll one’s tongue. I wonder if my father made me the way I am, or if my mother did, or if he’s to blame for how she is too. And if so, who’s to blame for him? I wonder if we’re all just the product of our parents’ fears and failings, and their parents before them. I wonder how far back the cycle goes, whether I’m predisposed to being mentally ill, whether I have any choice in how my life unfolds, or the person that I’m destined to be. You could go mad trying to figure it out.”
― Hazel Hayes, Out of Love
