“The price of clinging to the enemy [a man] is your life. To enter into a relationship with a man who has divested himself as completely and publicly from the male role as much as possible would still be a risk.

I, personally, have taken the position that I will not appear with any man publicly, where it could possibly be interpreted that we were friends.” MenStillsDoneEnemyRolesTakenRiskPositionSuicideMalesRelateClinging Author:Ti-Grace Atkinson
“The first step is to measure whatever can easily be measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.” GivingFirstsImportantValuesStepsRiskThirdsManagementSuicideArtificialFourthFirst StepsBlindnessArbitraryMisleadDisregardRisk Management Book:The Empty Raincoat: Making Sense of the Future Source: The Empty Raincoat: Making Sense of the Future
“Suicide rates have not slumped under the onslaught of antidepressants, mood-stabilizers, anxiolytic and anti-psychotic drugs; the jump in suicide rates suggests that the opposite is true. In some cases, suicide risk skyrockets once treatment begins (the patient may feel not only penalized for a justifiable reaction, but permanently stigmatized as malfunctioning). Studies show that self-loathing sharply decreases only in the course of cognitive-behavioral treatment.” FeelsMaySelfShowsCoursesCasesStudyRiskDrugOppositesSuicidePatientRateMoodReactionsTreatmentDecreaseLoathingCognitivePsychoticSelf LoathingAntidepressants Book:The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide Source: The Eclipse: A Memoir of Suicide

“Space travel leading to skylife is vital to human survival, because the question is not whether we will be hit by an asteroid, but when. A planetary culture that does not develop spacefaring is courting suicide. All our history, all our social progress and growing insight will be for nothing if we perish. No risk of this kind, however small it might be argued to be, is worth taking, and no cost to prevent it is too great.
