''
Killing oneself is, anyway, a misnomer.
We don't kill ourselves, we are simply defeated
by the long, hard struggle. To stay alive when
somebody dies after a long illnes, people are apt
to say with a note of approval,: ''He fought so
hard''
And they are inclined to think, about suicide, that
no fight was involved, that somebody simply gave up.
This is quite wrong. ''
