| db9fa27 | Suicide is a form of murder-- premeditated murder. It isn't something you do the first time you think of doing it. It takes some getting used to. And you need the means, the opportunity, the motive. A successful suicide demands good organization and a cool head, both of which are usually incompatible with the suicidal state of mind.

| f6bc078 | Most lives are not distinguished by great achievements. They are measured by an infinite number of small ones.

"She has done well." -- | poseidon thalia-grace zeus percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
