To run away from proverb

 To run away from trouble is a form of cowardice and, while it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

 At great periods you have always felt, deep within you, the temptation to commit suicide. You gave yourself to it, breached your own defenses. You were a child. The idea of suicide was a protest against life; by dying, you would escape this longing for death.
  Cesare Pavese

 They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any other exercise which the customs of the day esteem. It requires a training such as the athletes underwent, the steady intention almost of the whole life to this object.
  Henry David Thoreau

 Defense is the stronger form with the negative object, and attack the weaker form with the positive object.
  Ernest Hemingway

 A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
  James Allen

 It was almost gratuitous suicide, and in many ways that's the worst aspect of this whole thing. Most of the effort in terrorism goes toward planning an escape afterward, and suicide bombers don't have to do that.

 They can rule the world while they can persuade us our pain belongs in some order is death by famine worse than death by suicide, than a life of famine and suicide...?
  Adrienne Rich

 Is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.
  William Shakespeare

 That which in mean men we entitle patience is pale cold cowardice in noble breasts.
  William Shakespeare

 Basically, if you stop eating and wait several weeks or months, it is a slow form of suicide, ... No detention facility in the world will deliberately let their people commit suicide, so we can't let that happen.
