"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things and make them unimportant." The Doctor The true beauty to the end of 'Vincent and the Doctor' is that everything really does feel okay. It's a poignant finale to a wonderful episode, but it's not the end that we should all remember; it's the life that was lived up until that point. This Richard Curtis quotation is both simple and uplifting; it's an arm around the audience's shoulder. Again, the mention that it's "Every life" makes this musing relatable, but it's the way that Curtis divides the "Good things" and "Bad things" before suggesting that really, it's okay for a life to have both of them, as long you only focus on the good things. It doesn't need to be colourful or elaborate with language; it's a straightforward idea that we can all agree with, and Curtis presents it as such.
