Caitlin Moran: We’re all dying

Powerful toon from Zen Pencils...

May 21st, 2013

Caitlin Moran (1975-) is a British author, TV presenter, music critic, journalist and outspoken advocate for women’s rights. She currently writes a variety of columns (most of which are hilarious) for The Times UK.

Moran was something of a child prodigy. After being home-schooled (she left school after a few weeks when she was 11) she had her first book published at 15, had columns running in the Observer and Guardian at 17 and got her gig at The Times when she was 18.

This quote is taken from her best-selling memoir How to be a Woman. Her new book, Moranthology, has just been released.

Nice play on Wizard of Oz, with the black & white reality & the color fantasy.

It makes life so much sweeter. This was explained to me by a young woman with terminal cancer. I don't think I've ever encountered a happier person.

Personally, I find the thought of immortality horrifying.

But you do anyway and there's no way to tell when it will come, so I live life anyway.
