I don't think suicide is so terrible. Some rainy winter Sundays when there's a little boredom, you should always carry a gun. Not to shoot yourself, but to know exactly that you're always making a choice.

Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me, I quit.'

Our time is fixed, and all our days are number'd; How long, how short, we know not:-this we know, Duty requires we calmly wait the summons, Nor dare to stir till Heaven shall give permission.

Suicide is the worst form of murder, because it leaves no opportunity for repentance.

The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets successfully through many a bad night.

The trouble with jumping was that if you didn't pick the right number of stories, you might still be alive when you hit bottom.

To be or not to be, that is the question ...

(Suicide) takes some doing, with maybe pain and maybe hell.

To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

That is what chills your spine when you read an account of a suicide: not the frail corpse hanging from the window bars but what happened inside that heart immediately before.
