“Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. I meant to swim till I sank -- but that's not the same thing.”

“I know, too, that death is the only god who comes when you call.”
― Roger Zelazny, Frost & Fire

“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
