"There comes a time when you look into the mirror and you realize that what you see is all that you will ever be. And then you accept it. Or you kill yourself. Or you stop looking in mirrors."

-Tennessee Williams​

 

[Lostandlooking]

'One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate. In this there is also a residue of belief that during the move the master will chance to come along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: "This man is not to be locked up again, He is to come with me.'

- Franz Kafka

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - J. Krishnamurti

 

[kohaku]

"The so-called 'psychotically depressed' person who tries to kill herself doesn't do so out of quote 'hopelessness' or any abstract conviction that life's assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling 'Don't!' and 'Hang on!', can understand the jump. Not really. You'd have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling."
― David Foster Wallace

"Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I'm one of them."

 

[NodusTollens]

There's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it.

Bella res est mori sua morte

"The woods are lovely dark and deep. But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."

Not really a quote. It's a part of a poem that I dearly love. I used to recite this one before sleeping, after waking up, and when I have too many dark thoughts (which is always lol). It became more of a mantra ahahaha

"Killing oneself is, anyway, a misnomer. We don't kill ourselves. We are simply defeated by the long, hard struggle to stay alive. When somebody dies after a long illness, people are apt to say, with a note of approval, "He fought so hard." And they are inclined to think, about a suicide, that no fight was involved, that somebody simply gave up. This is quite wrong."

that is really good

 

[StringPuppet]

"Doesn't living sometimes feel like a burden? The daily routines of self-maintenance. The tediousness. The same old conversations. Aches and pains that, however difficult to endure, become too boring to talk about yet again. There is the dread of winter, escalating fuel bills, aching joints, the difficulty of even going out when the weather is punishing, the terror of slipping on the ice and breaking bones. Such dreaded events are very familiar to many people in their twilight years. How many in their sixties are already wondering how long they have to go on? There is less novelty in experiences, perhaps especially for the poor, and people find themselves endlessly repeating stories from earlier years and decades, embarrassing those who have already heard from dozens of times. A pole apart from the fear of death is this longing for it, but this cannot be discussed; it's a dirty secret. We have to be thankful for life."
