If you must commit suicide... always contrive to do it as decorous

If you must commit suicide… always contrive to do it as decorously as possible; the decencies, whether of life or of death, should never be lost sight of. – George Borrow

Other quotes by George Borrow

The Germans are the most philosophic people in the world, and the greatest smokers: now I trace their philosophy to their smoking.
