It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.

You," he said, "are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain.

It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first. In fact, this act has been encouraged for centuries, and is accepted even now as an honorable reason to do the deed. How is it any different when you are under attack by your own mind?

I only sleep with people I love, which is why I have insomnia.

Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide more than people's reaction to my trying to commit suicide.

I still own my heart, which I know because it hurts so much.

I am my heart’s undertaker. Daily I go and retrieve its tattered remains, place them delicately into its little coffin, and bury it in the depths of my memory, only to have to do it all again tomorrow.

Studies show that intelligent girls are more depressed because they know the world.
