Ned Vizzini
“Some days I woke up and got out of bed and brushed my teeth like any normal human being; some days I woke up and lay in bed and looked at the ceiling and wondered what the hell the point was of getting out of bed and brushing my teeth like any normal human being.”
Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

Jodi Picoult
“I'm too much of a coward to kill myself. And too much of a coward to live”
Jodi Picoult, The Pact

Ned Vizzini
“Of course I wasn't abused. If I were; things would be so simple. I'd have a reason to for being in a shrinks office. I'd have a justification and something to work on. The world wasn't going to give me something that tidy.”

“I'm young, but I'm already screwing up my life. I'm smart but not enough -- just smart enough to have problems.”
Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

Ned Vizzini
“Who hasn't thought about killing themselves, as a kid? How can you grow up in this world and not think about it? It's an option taken by a lot of successful people: Ernest Hemingway, Socrates, Jesus. Even before high school, I thought that it would be a cool thing to do if I ever got really famous. If I kept making my maps, for instance, and some art collector came across them and decided to make them worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if I killed myself at the height of that, they'd be worth millions of dollars, and I wouldn't be responsible for them anymore. I'd have left behind something that spoke for itself.”
