“But no matter how you die, the world always stays the same.”
― Young-Ha Kim, I Have the Right to Destroy Myself

“Science has it that when you die, you have seven minutes of brain activity left. Seven minutes to replay every memory. Seven minutes to tell your story. Seven minutes and now you know why.”
― Ashley Marie, Seven Minutes

“I thought, “I want to die. I want to die more than ever before. There’s no chance now of a recovery. No matter what sort of thing I do, no matter what I do, it’s sure to be a failure, just a final coating applied to my shame. That dream of going on bicycles to see a waterfall framed in summer leaves—it was not for the likes of me. All that can happen now is that one foul, humiliating sin will be piled on another, and my sufferings will become only the more acute. I want to die. I must die. Living itself is the source of sin.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
