Famous quotes containing the words suicide and/or meier:

    Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn’t had an audience, and lines to speak?
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    I take enormous pleasure every time I see something that I’ve done that cannot be wiped out. In some way ... I guess it’s a protest against mortality. But it’s been so much fun! It’s the curiosity that drives me. It’s making a difference in the world that prevents me from ever giving up.
    —Deborah Meier (b. 1931)
