"Simple: To be alive or not to be alive, that is what I'm wondering. Whether it is braver to live through all the bad luck of life, or to use weapons against all the troubles, and end them. Dying is like sleeping, it's nothing more than that. And if, by sleeping, we can stop the heartache and the thousand pains that living bodies have to experience, that is something to wish for very hard."
