Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live. – Charles Caleb Colton

I dont break the law* made for crooks, when I take away my own property – thus I am not obliged to conform to the law made for murderers when I deprive myself of my own life. – Michel de Montaigne

One said of suicide, As long as one has brains one should not blow them out. And another answered, But when one has ceased to have them, too often one cannot. – Francis H. Bradley

The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility. – E. M. Cioran
