suicide
AIDS obliges people to think of
sex as having, possibly, the
direst consequences: suicide.
Or murder.
Susan Sontag
Is Suicide a Choice?
No. Choice implies that a suicidal person
can reasonably look at alternatives and select
among them. If they could rationally choose,
it would not be suicide. Suicide happens
when all other alternatives are exhausted --
when no other choices are seen.
Adina Wrobleski
Fame is no sanctuary from the passing of youth. . .
suicide is much easier and more acceptable
in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.
Julie Burchill
The ready availability of suicide,
like sex and alcohol, is one of
life's basic consolations.
Edward Abbey
If destruction be our lot, we must
ourselves be its author and
finisher. As a nation of
freemen, we must live through
all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
There is but one truly serious philosophical
problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether
life is or is not worth living amounts to answering
the fundamental question of philosophy.
Albert Camus
If you are of the opinion that the
contemplation of suicide is sufficient
evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget

Suicide is our way of saying to
God, "You can't fire me, I quit!"
Bill Maher
It is always consoling to think of
suicide: in that way one gets
through many a bad night.

If they tell you that she died of sleeping pills
you must know that she died of a wasting
grief, of a slow bleeding at the soul.

Benjamin Franklin
Suicide is a permanent solution
to a temporary problem.
Phil Donahue
Suicide is... the sincerest form
of criticism life gets.
Wilfred Sheed
Suicide is not a remedy.
James A. Garfield
As anyone who has been close to someone
that has committed suicide knows, there is no
other pain like that felt after the incident.
Peter Green
The question is, whether suicide
is the way out or the way in.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
The coward sneaks to death; the brave live on.
Dr. George Sewell
Every disgruntled person in this world
has played with the idea of suicide,
self-destruction, at some time or other.
Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad
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.
Aristotle
When one realizes that his life is worthless
he either commits suicide or travels.
Edward Dahlberg
