They [US soldiers] started to commit suicide on the Baghdad walls. We will encourage them to double their suicide attempts.
Blood transforms the warm bath water and, in it, I see weakly that this was a mistake. The razor's cut is not deep, nevertheless the blood rushes out happily in the warm water as if kin to it, the same tender substance. Rising a new person transformed with an icy sense of error I go to the sink and turn on cold water which is not friendly to blood. The cut is deeper than imagined.

Lie is more worth living, more full of interest when you are likely to lose it. It shouldn't be, perhaps, but it is.

You can't drown yourself that simply. All good suicides involve speed and irreversibility, because the body will always move to protect itself against the sicko mind trying to do it in.
The great thing about suicide is that it's not one of those things you have to do now or you lose your chance. I mean, you can always do it later.
What Strauss is going through drives you nuts. If you care about your batting - which I'm sure he does - he will feel like jumping off a bridge and committing suicide
Suicides have a special language. Like carpenters they want to know which tools. They never ask why build.
I went through a lot of abuse and a lot of really difficult things growing up - depression, anxiety, attempted suicide.
There's something in us that is very much attracted to madness. Everyone who looks off the edge of a tall building has felt at least a faint, morbid urge to jump. And anyone who has ever put a loaded pistol up to his head. . . All right, my point is this: even the most well-adjusted person is holding onto his or her sanity by a greased rope.
