Dear Suicide, you are a a permanent response to temporary problem, and you are a solution to nothing. I just want to say right from the outset, there is nothing good or Romantic about you, Suicide. You are a tragedy. You are also, in almost all cases, preventable. [...] There is a correlation between depressive personalities and creativity, but people who are suffering from paralyzing depression don't create anything. So it's very important to me whenever we discuss a writer whose life ended with suicide that we note that people survive depression.
John Green, The Poetry of Sylvia Plath
