Reflection
makes men cowards.
-- William Hazlitt

Nowadays not
even a suicide kills himself in desperation. Before taking
the step he deliberates so long and so carefully that he
literally chokes with thought. It is even questionable
whether he ought to be called a suicide, since it is really
thought which takes his life. He does not die with
deliberation but from deliberation.
-- Soren Kierkegaard
1813-1855, Danish
Philosopher, Writer
