Tigers & Ice Quotes

“I don't rule out suicide as being unthinkable for people who have tried to live full lives; and don't regard it as negating the wish and faith and satisfaction and fun and even ecstasy they may have known before. In killing himself a person acknowledges his failures during a time span when perhaps heaven and earth had caught him like a pair of scissors--but doesn't repudiate his life span. Man is different from animals in that he speculates, a high-risk activity.”
― Edward Hoagland, Tigers & Ice: Reflections on Nature and Life
