The Suicide Rate

Famous quotes containing the words suicide and/or rate:

    “Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ““Terence, this is stupid stuff:
    You eat your victuals fast enough;
    There can’t be much amiss, ‘tis clear,
    To see the rate you drink your beer.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
