...A hundred times I was upon the point of killing myself; but still I loved life...
...In the different countries which it has been my lot to traverse,...I have taken notice of a vast number of people who held their own existence in abhorrence,...
...I advise you to divert yourself, and prevail upon each passenger to tell his story; and if there be one of them all, that has not cursed his life many a time, that has not frequently looked upon himself as the unhappiest of mortals, I give you to leave to throw me headforemost into the
sea...photo by shawnbot
