The Labour Party's election manifesto is the longest suicide note in history.

Greg Knight

History is not a suicide note -- it is a record of our survival.

Jeanette Winterson

I can't relate to the idea of suicide. I guess I'm just one of those people that is always optimistic and upbeat. But one day, I sat down. I said 'You know what? Just to kind of purge myself, I want to see what its like to feel that low'. So I decided to write a suicide note. Yeah, just to kinda flush it out there and put it on a page. And I started to do this, and I had an epiphany. I'll share this with you: a suicide note that is written by somebody that is not suicidal is called an autobiography. I am on Chapter 58.

Dane Cook

You never can tell, though, with suicide notes, can you? In the planetary aggregate of all life, there are many more suicide notes than there are suicides. They're like poems in that respect, suicide notes: nearly everyone tries their hand at them some time, with or without the talent. We all write them in our heads. Usually the note is the thing. You complete it, and then resume your time travel. It is the note and not the life that is cancelled out. Or the other way round. Or death. You never can tell, though, can you, with suicide notes.

Martin Amis

Lilly was not crazy. She left a serious suicide note. 'Sorry,' said the note. 'Just not big enough.

We have the - the longest, friendliest border, you know, for the - for the longest time in the history - in recorded history, really, with Canada. And they get to sit on their moral perch, you know, take the moral high ground, say, oh, United States, shame on you about Iraq. They make us look bad internationally. And it's really not fair.

Tucker Carlson

Goodbye, everybody! (Suicide note)

Hart Crane

I have a paper cut from writing my suicide note. It's a start.

Steven Wright

Write something, even if it's just a suicide note.

Gore Vidal

Neurotics dream of a good life, or a great suicide note.

Mignon McLaughlin

Suicide note. "To my friends. My work is done why wait?"

George Eastman

While his history of depression is compatible with suicide... and the location and direction of the stab wounds are consistent with self-infliction, several aspects of the circumstances (as they are known at this time) are atypical of suicide and raise the possibility of homicide.

Elliott Smith

They tried to get me-I got them first! (suicide note)

Vachel Lindsay

...we ask: Why suicide? We search for reasons, causes, and so on.... We follow the course of the life he has now so suddenly terminated as far back as we can. For days we are preoccupied with the question: Why suicide? We recollect details. And yet we must say that everything in the suicide's life- for now we know that all his life he was a suicide, led a suicide's existence- is part of the cause, the reason, for his suicide.
