“The reason I hadn't washed my clothes or my hair was because it seemed so silly. (...)
It seemed silly to wash one day when I would only have to wash it again the next.
It made me tired just to think of it.
I wanted to do everything once and for all and be through with it.”
― Sylvia Plath , The Bell Jar

“Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.”

“We drank our coffee and talked a little bit more about practical things. Natalie came over and asked me if I knew what the trees were called. I said no. She told me they were jacarandas. She said one March two years ago she was feeling suicidal. She had planned to step in front of a bus. Then she looked at the jacaranda tree and changed her mind.
You decided to hang yourself from it instead? I said.”
― Miriam Toews, Irma Voth
