"Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or "broken heart," is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one."
-Charlotte Perkins Gilman (Suicide Note, August 17, 1935)
"I think we should look forward to death more than we do. Of course everybody hates to go to bed or miss anything' but dying is really the only chance we'll get to rest."
-Florynce Kennedy
