Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice; . . . that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
Summary
This quote challenges the common accusation that suicide is an act of cowardice and inherently wrong. It argues that each individual possesses an undeniable ownership and sovereignty over their own life. By asserting this, the quote questions the idea that society or anyone else has the authority to pass judgment on such a personal decision. It suggests that the choice to live or to end one's life is a deeply personal matter and should be defended as a fundamental right.
