quotations about suicide


The obsession with suicide is characteristic of the man who can neither live nor die, and whose attention never swerves from this double impossibility.

EMILE CIORAN, The New Gods

All suicides have the responsibility of fighting against the temptation of suicide. Every one of them knows very well in some corner of his soul that suicide, though a way out, is rather a mean and shabby one, and that it is nobler and finer to be conquered by life than to fall by one's own hand.

HERMANN HESSE, Steppenwolf

The only difference between a suicide and a martyrdom really is press coverage.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK, Survivor

You are certainly wrong to compare suicide ... with great accomplishments, since it cannot be considered as anything but a weakness. After all, it is easier to die than to endure a harrowing life with fortitude.

JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE, The Sorrows of Young Werther

quotations about suicide


Suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.

JULIE BURCHILL, Girls on Film

Suicide is a whispered word, inappropriate for polite company. Family and friends often pretend they do not hear the word's dread sound even when it is uttered. For suicide is a taboo subject that stigmatizes not only the victim but the survivors as well.

EARL A. GROLLMAN, Suicide

The reality of suicide is far different from the fantasy. Most suicidal thinkers romanticize their death by suicide, failing to realize that any suicide gesture or attempt can result in permanent brain, kidney, or liver damage, loss of limbs, blindness, or even death.

SUSAN ROSE BLAUNER, How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me

1) Start with the wide end ("W") of your necktie on the right, extending about 12 inches below the narrow end ("N") on the left.

2) Then cross the wide end over the narrow end.


3) Turn the wide end back underneath the narrow end.


4) Continue by bringing the wide end back over in front of the narrow end again.


5) Then, pull the wide end up and through the loop around your neck.


6) Hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and bring the wide end down through the front loop.


7) At last, remove your finger and tighten the knot carefully to the collar by holding the narrow end and sliding the knot up.

How to apply red lipstick

Select the red lipstick. Most people are able to wear cool red.[1] However, it is important to try different shades of red to find the one that suits you best. Ask a makeup retail assistant to help you make a suitable choice; be sure to test under good lighting.
Clean and dry your lips in preparation. Slightly moisturize your lips by adding a little lip balm. Before proceeding, wait for it to be absorbed.

Add lip liner. The lip liner needs to be similar to the red shade of lipstick you're going to use (or use a nude color). Carefully line your lips, avoiding trembling. If you made a mistake, don't swipe it off with your finger––use makeup remover on a Q-tip (cotton bud) for best results.

Slightly line outside your lips if you want your lips to look bigger.
Consider using a reverse liner; it's clear and it allows you to outline your lips to prevent lipstick from running and bleeding.
If you don't have a lip liner, pat concealer across your lips.

Apply the lipstick. You can use different kinds, but usually a traditional lipstick is preferable. Don't forget the very inside of your lips, as you smile the colour of your real lips might be a big contrast to the redness.

To make your lips redder, and fuller, get a small brush and use your foundation to apply around your lips. Don't be scared to get close to your lips, the bigger the contrast between your lips and your skin the better. This will let your lips look better, and more professional.


It is best to always apply using a lip brush, not the actual lipstick, which should only ever be applied direct to lips for brief touch-ups. The brush ensures that the lipstick is added precisely and that it will stay put.

Once in place, lightly dab the lipstick with a tissue. A coat of translucent powder can do wonders too. Then, last but not least, apply either a clear or a red lip gloss. You can never put too little lip gloss, but avoid the edges, because it might dribble over if it's too much.

Place your index finger in your mouth and move it around gently. It'll lift excess red lipstick likely to smear on your teeth.

Consider the remaining makeup. The red lipstick pops and should be your facial feature piece. The remaining makeup needs to be consistent with this and flawless skin is the look to aim for (or the illusion to create). Here are some suggestions to achieve this:

Check regularly for red smears on your teeth. Have a compact mirror handy to check and swipe off the teeth smears should they happen. And they will.

airline food

Continental Airlines offers ham or turkey sandwiches on its flights of 2 or more hours. The turkey sandwich contains 170 calories and the ham at just over 200 (including a topping of mayo or mustard). These are accompanied by carrots (35 calories) and a mini candy bar (80 calories). This is definitely one of the healthier offerings in terms of calories, especially if you leave the candy in its wrapper.
American Airline's "snack pack" is sold on short flights. The good news about this meal is that passengers have lots of snack-sized items to choose from. The bad news: eat it all and you will be consuming more than 700 calories. However, the package of Lorne Doone cookies and the container of mixed nuts account for nearly half of those calories. The meat, crackers, cheese spread and raisins are the pack's lighter items.

Delta Airlines offers an 800-plus calorie snack pack on shorter flights. It seems that all the worst "diet wreckers" made it onto the menu: chips, peanuts, peanut butter crackers and cookies. A granola bar (made by Quaker) is the healthiest of the bunch, but passengers have to buy the whole snack pack to get their hands on it.

airline food

United Airlines offers 800 calories snack packs on shorter flights. On flights over 5 hours, meals like a turkey breast with salad set a passenger's calorie count back by only 200 (as long as they skip the mayo, dressing and whatever starch is offered as a side dish).

JetBlue allows fliers to choose their snacks individually. There is no tempting, high-calorie all-inclusive snack pack like those found on Delta or American flights. That might not be good news for hungry fliers, but, on the other hand, it is ideal for waistline watchers. The 100 calorie Wheat Thins are the health conscious traveler's best option. That said, slightly more decadent offerings like chocolate chip cookies (a pack of 4) and a snack sized bag of Doritos Mix are under 150 calories each.

airline food

American Airlines premium class meals prove that upgrading might not necessarily be healthier. A chicken or fish entree plus salad with dressing and rolls or rice contains about 500-600 calories, depending on the use dressing, toppings and butter. Add virtually any desert that the airline offers and calorie count shoots north of 800.

"Special meals," such as vegetarian meals, kosher or halal meals, and gluten free meals often offer a smaller calorie count. Bean-based dishes such as American's bean and pepper medley, with fruit and rice as sides, is a 300 calorie offering. Passengers should keep in mind that vegetarian meals must be ordered in advance. This can be done by calling the airline.
