"I have a new joke today. Martha Stewart's on suicide watch. They had to unplug all of her ovens."
"Not everyone who has killed themselves because they were HIV positive would have been killed by AIDS."
"Self-slaughter is an extravagant enactment of feeling sorry for oneself. Suicide is stingy act, because no matter how wretched our life may currently be, a person can always rise tomorrow and perform some small act of kindness for other people, care for a pet, or perform some other caring act that works towards preserving nature's graciousness. To die of their own hand is to cheat other people and shortchange Mother Nature; it is taking without giving back in kind. What combats suicide is a sense of gratitude, a willingness to give to other people, and to cease living life as a taker. Without a profound appreciation for all that is living and devoid of a sincere willingness to contribute to the flourishing of all life forms, one can callously write off the value of their own life."
"Killing myself was a matter of such indifference to me that I felt like waiting for a moment when it would make some difference."
"I tried to commit suicide by sticking my head in the oven, but there was a cake in it."
"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."
