Suicide Attempt

Famous quotes containing the words suicide and/or attempt:

“Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn’t had an audience, and lines to speak?”

“Death is too much for men to bear, whereas women, who are practiced in bearing the deaths of men before their own and who are also practiced in bearing life, take death almost in stride. They go to meet death—that is, they attempt suicide—twice as often as men, though men are more “successful” because they use surer weapons, like guns.”
—Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940)
