“The debate was wearing me out. Once you've posed that question, it won't go away. I think many people kill themselves simply to stop the debate about whether they will or they won't.

I liked that movie—maybe I shouldn’t kill myself.”
― Susanna Kaysen

“If you want to be respected by others, the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Insulted and Humiliated

“لا يليق بك إخفاء النصيحة المفيدة عن أحبابك.”
