One said of suicide, As long as one has brains one should not blow them out. And another answered, But when one has ceased to have them, too often one cannot.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide.
Suicide is not an answer, it's destruction.
One must keep working continuously; otherwise, one thinks of death.
The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility.
We can consciously end our life almost anytime we choose. This ability is an endowment, like laughing and blushing, given to no other animal... in any given moment, by not exercising the option of suicide, we are choosing to live.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Suicide doesn't solve your problems. It only makes them infinitely, un-countably worse.
I was reading this story about these people who suffered from brain injuries, and then their behavior changed kind of drastically afterward, and I just said to myself, 'There's no way that that can possibly be true.'
One sometimes says: 'He killed himself because he was bored with life.' One ought rather to say: 'He killed himself because he was bored by lack of life.'
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
