1 Corinthians 15:26: "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death..." Verse 54-55: "So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"

 

[anagram]

First, he cast a fearful glance from afar towards death and turned away in fright; then he avoided it; trembling and going around it in wide circles which, however, became smaller and smaller everyday until, at last, he clasped death's neck with his weary arms and looked directly into its eyes: and then there was peace, sweet peace."
- Philipp Mainlander

Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I have a call.

― Sylvia Plath, from Lady Lazarus

 

[L'absent]

We are just biological machines complaining about the futility of existence. Suicide is the software update that saves us from the fatigue of yet another version.

[Sprite_Geist]

This is quoted from the late Norm Macdonald's stand-up comedy: Hitler's Dog, Gossip & Trickery (2017):

"When people commit suicide no one ever understands you know what I mean? People commit suicide and people go 'I don't - I don't understand why', and I go "You don't?" What do you live in a cotton-candy house or something? What the fuck? You don't know about life? How it only disappoints, and gets worse and worse until it ends in a catastrophe? ...what the fuck?

...There's two reasons guys will hang themselves from the neck: One is, like we said, to escape this worthless masquerade of a life we pretend we have, and the second reason we hang ourselves from the neck is to whack off; These guys... I don''t understand."
