suicide_quotations andru235 =========================== "When all the blandishments of life are gone / the coward sneaks to death, the brave live on." --Martial, Epigrams =========================== "Why dost thou complain of this world? It detains thee not; thy own cowardice is the cause, if thou livest in pain." --Montaigne, Essays: "A Custom of the Isle of Cea" =========================== "That is what chills your spine when you read an account of suicide - not the frail corpse hanging from the window bars but what happened inside that heart immediately before." --Simone de Beauvoir, Les Belles Images =========================== "To attempt suicide is a criminal offense. Any man who, of his own will, tries to escape the treadmill to which the rest of us feel chained incites our envy, and therefore our fury. We do not suffer him to go unpunished." --Alexander Chase, Perspectives =========================== "Among the sufferings of life on earth, suicide is God's best gift to men." --Pliny the Elder, Natural History =========================== "Guns are always the best method for a private suicide.... Drugs are too chancy. You might miscalculate the dosage and just have a good time." --P. J. O'Rourke, Modern Manners =========================== "He who saves a man against his will as good as murders him." --Horace, Ars Poetica =========================== "When even despair ceases to serve any creative purpose, then surely we are justified in suicide." --Cyril Connolly, The Unquiet Grave =========================== "The paintings by dead men who were poor most of their lives are the most valuable pieces in my collection. And if an artist wants to really jack up the prices of his creations, may I suggest this: suicide." --Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard =========================== "Razors pain you, / rivers are damp; / acids stain you, / and drugs cause cramp. / Guns aren't lawful, / nooses give; / gas smells awful, / you might as well live." --Dorothy Rothschild [Parker], Resume =========================== "Judging whether or not life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest - whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories - comes afterword." --Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus =========================== "Whatever crazy sorrow saith, / No life that breaths with human breath, / Has ever truly longed for death." --Lord Tennyson, The Two Voices =========================== "The question is whether [suicide] is the way *out*, or the way *in*." --Emerson, Journals =========================== 051111 ... . . 060327 ...
