"I have wanted to kill myself a hundred times, but somehow I am still in love with life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our more stupid melancholy propensities, for is there anything more stupid than to go on carrying a burden which one would gladly throw away, to loath one's very being yet hold to it fast, to fondle the snake that devours us until it has eaten our hearts away? ~ Voltaire, Candide: Or, Optimism
