Suicide Quotes

La lassitude est la fin des actes d'une vie machinale, mais elle inaugure en même temps le mouvement de la conscience. Elle l'éveille et elle provoque la suite. La suite, c'est le retour inconscient dans la chaîne, ou c'est l'éveil définitif. Au bout de l'éveil vient avec le temps, la conséquence: suicide ou rétablissement.

Kurt Vonnegut

I have been a hundred times on the point of killing myself, but still was fond of life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our worst instincts. What can be more absurd than choosing to carry a burden that one really wants to throw to the ground? To detest, and yet to strive to preserve our existence? To caress the serpent that devours us, and hug him close to our bosoms till he has gnawed into our hearts?

Albert Camus

He who does not accept and respect those who want to reject life does not truly accept and respect life itself.

Thomas Szasz

Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?

Albert Camus

Exageras tudo e, por certo, cometes pelo menos o erro de aceitar o suicídio, que é do que estamos falando agora, como se fosse uma grande ação, quando não é nada mais do que simplesmente fraqueza. Pois, para ser sincero, é mais fácil morrer do que suportar com firmeza uma vida de tormentos.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

If she could have died...if she could have disappeared forever...but the solid surface of things refused to dissolve around her, and her body, her hateful hermaphrodite's body, continued in its stubborn, lumpen way, to live...

J.K. Rowling

A victim mentality is a prolonged form of suicide.

Steve Maraboli

Not a single star will be left in the night. The night will not be left. I will die and, with me, the weight of the intolerable universe.

I am hearing the last bird. I bequeath nothingness to no one.
