פרידריך ניטשע האט געשריבן:
The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night
וויליאם שעיקספּיר האט געשריבן אין זיין
העמלעט:
But that the dread of something after death
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all
And thus the native hue of Resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of Thought
