“Best of all he loved the fall
the leaves yellow on the cottonwoods
leaves floating on the trout streams
and above the hills the high blue windless skies…now he will be a part of them forever.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“الانتحار ياصاحبي هو قمة الحرية، في الانتحار أنت تمارس حريتك كاملة حين تختار بين الوجود والعدم، وتفضل أحداهما على الآخر دون أن يختار لك .... في الانتحار أنت تقهر الظروف، وتهزم الصدف، وتنتصر على كل ماهو ليس أنت، الانتحار هو الحرية المطلقة، والاستقلال التام، لذلك لا أحد يطيقه. لا هم ولانحن.”
― تركي الحمد, الكراديب

“When does a man die? When he is hit by a bullet? No! When he suffers a disease? No! When he ate a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! A man dies when he is forgotten!”
― Eiichiro Oda, One Piece, Volume 16: Carrying On His Will

“We never keep to the present. We recall the past; we anticipate the future as if we found it too slow in coming and were trying to hurry it up, or we recall the past as if to stay its too rapid flight. We are so unwise that we wander about in times that do not belong to us, and do not think of the only one that does; so vain that we dream of times that are not and blindly flee the only one that is. The fact is that the present usually hurts. We thrust it out of sight because it distresses us, and if we find it enjoyable, we are sorry to see it slip away. We try to give it the support of the future, and think how we are going to arrange things over which we have no control for a time we can never be sure of reaching.

Let each of us examine his thoughts; he will find them wholly concerned with the past or the future. We almost never think of the present, and if we do think of it, it is only to see what light it throws on our plans for the future. The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées
