The difference between a non-suicide and an ex-suicide leaving the house for work, at eight o'clock on an ordinary morning: the non-suicide is a little traveling suck of care, sucking care with him from the past and being sucked toward care in the future. his breath is high in his chest. the ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. it is good to be alive. he goes to work because he doesn't have to.
Suicide Morning Past
If i have one message to give to the secular american people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. the world is not divided between east and west. you are american, i am iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. the difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. and the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. and our governments are very much the same.

They all think any minute i'm going to commit suicide. what a joke. the truth of course is the exact opposite: suicide is the only thing that keeps me alive. whenever everything else fails, all i have to do is consider suicide and in two seconds i'm as cheerful as a nitwit. but if i could not kill myself -- ah then, i would. i can do without nembutal or murder mysteries but not without suicide.

With patient and firm determination, i am going to press on for jobs. i'm going to press on for equality. i'm going to press on for the sake of our children. i'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. i don't have time to feel sorry for myself. i don't have time to complain. i am going to press on.

Martyrdom does not consist only in dying for one's faith. martyrdom also consists in serving god with love and purity of heart every day of one's life

All the martyrs in the history of the world are not sufficient to establish the correctness of an opinion. martyrdom, as a rule, establishes the sincerity of the martyr, - never the correctness of his thought. things are true or false in themselves. truth cannot be affected by opinions; it cannot be changed, established, or affected by martyrdom. an error cannot be believed sincerely enough to make it a truth.
