W. Somerset Maugham
“Women are constantly trying to commit suicide for love, but generally they take care not to succeed.”
W. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence

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

George Sand
“We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire.”
George Sand, Mauprat

Walker Percy
“The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning:

The non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. His breath is high in his chest.

The ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. Since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. It is good to be alive. He goes to work because he doesn't have to.”
Walker Percy, Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book

Emilie Autumn
“What's the big fucking deal? Lots of amazing people have committed suicide, and they turned out alright.”
Emilie Autumn, The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls
