Quotes about Suicide


Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem (quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show).

Jean Jacques Unknown

The beasts (Conservatives) had committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter.

John Bright

If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a burden. It is the only way that we can then be useful to society, by setting an example which, if imitated, would preserve every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually free him from all danger or misery.

David Hume

There is no refuge from confession but suicide; and suicide is confession.

Daniel Webster

Britannia's shame! There took her gloomy flight, On wing impetuous, a black sullen soul . . . Less base the fear of death than fear of life. O Britain! infamous for suicide.

Edward Young

When one realizes that his life is worthless he either commits suicide or travels.

Edward Dahlberg
