“…They think of suicide as a quick route to oblivion, an escape. Far from it. It merely alters a person from one form to another. Nothing can destroy the spirit. Suicide only precipitates a darker continuation of the same conditions from which escape was sought. A condition under circumstances so much more painful.”

It is the only way a powerless person can find to make everybody else look away from his shame. The wish is not to die, but to hide.”
― Ender's Shadow
