Suicide

• “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”

• “It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”

• “What a silly thing to do, he thought. What a goddam silly thing to do. You wont even be there to watch their faces.”

• “My duty will be to continue to endeavor to do the work I seem to have been put into the world to do; and when the moment arrives at which there seems to be no rational hope of making my life useful, my duty, as I see it, will be to treat my life just as I would an aching tooth that there was no hope of making useful. I will have it out.”

• “Therein, ye gods, you make the weak most strong; Therein, ye gods, you tyrants do defeat: Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit; But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself.”

• “It's better to burn out than to fade away.”
