Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something. -~~ Pancho Villa, Mexican revolutionary, d. 1923

(Yesterday I was inspired to collect some of my favorite farewells spoken by those previous to their suicides. Not a pretense for your attention reader. Or friend. Travelers. I was genuinely soothed after I read them to myself sporadically. Yesterday I was in a Rotten mood. Sometimes it gets so rotten, that yes,  I am comforted by a farewell I admire before oblivion. I actually enjoy the jealousy of the jerk on the receiving end. I bet he won't meet me in the dirt pit despite also being fed up like Winston Churchill.) 


And so I leave this world, where the heart must either break or turn to lead.
-~~ Nicolas-Sebastien Chamfort, French writer, d. 1794

Nothing, but death.

I'm bored with it all.

-~~ Winston Churchill, statesman, d. January 24, 1965

Damn it . . . Don't you dare ask God to help me.

-~~ Joan Crawford, actress, d. May 10, 1977

A dying man can do nothing easy.

-~~ Benjamin Franklin, statesman, d. April 17, 1790

Does nobody understand?

-~~ James Joyce, writer, d. 1941

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye 

My love, you are in my heart. 
It was preordained we should part 
And be reunited by and by. 
Goodbye: no handshake to endure.
Let's have no sadness--furrowed brow.
There's nothing new in dying now.
Though living is no newer. 
-~~ Sergei Esenin, Russian poet, d. Dec. 28, 1925


Nothing matters. Nothing matters.
-~~ Louis B. Mayer, film producer, d. October 29, 1957


I owe much; I have nothing; the rest I leave to the poor.
-~~ François Rabelais, writer, d. 1553

I don't believe that people should take their own lives without deep and thoughtful reflection over a considerable period of time. -~~ Wendy O. Williams, punk rock performer, d. April 6, 1998

I feel certain that I'm going mad again. I feel we can't go thru another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time

~~ Virginia Woolf, author, d. March 28, 1941
