We have some of the best Suicide Prevention Day quotes to share with the world ahead of Saturday.
September 10 is a day in which we take off our shields, share our pain and take pride in our scars. The darkness associated with trauma, illness, shame, hate, guilt or even miscommunication can cause some to reach a breaking point where they see no light at the end of the tunnel, cliche and all.
As we head into this day, remember to offer your heart, soul and ears to those who may be in a difficult place. We all toil through different battles and no one can accurately pinpoint how everyone else views the world.
As you share these quotes on social media, be kind to those closest to you, farthest from you and everyone in between. There is always a way out and it does get better.

Suicide Prevention Day Quotes
- If you are looking for a sign not to kill yourself, this is it. – Unknown
- The fear of not living is a deep, abiding dread of watching your own potential decompose into irredeemable disappointment when ‘should be’ gets crushed by what is. Sometimes I think it would be easier to die than to face that, because ‘what could have been’ is much more highly regarded than ‘what should have been.’ Dead kids are put on pedestals, but mentally ill kids get hidden under the rug. Neal Shusterman.
Suicide Prevention Day Quotes
- Anyone desperate enough for suicide should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try. – Richard Bach
- After each dream, Frankie woke with a start, soaked in tears. But she found no relief in the peaceful silence of her room, because there everything was real. And the guilt was too immense to bear. Each time she opened her eyes, she’d quickly shut them. And wish that she had woken up for the very last time. – Lisa Harrison, Monster High
Suicide Prevention Day Quotes
- Nobody would commit suicide if the pain of being inside herself, the agony of the sleepless, tortured hours spent watching the world get smaller and uglier, were bearable or could be relieved by other people telling her how they wanted her to feel. A depressed person is selfish because her self, the very core of who she is, will not leave her alone, and she can no more stop thinking about this self and how to escape it than a prisoner held captive by a sadistic serial killer can forget about the person who comes in to torture her everyday. Her body is brutalized by her mind. It hurts to breathe, eat, walk, think. The gross maneuverings of her limbs are so overwhelming, so wearying, that the fine muscle movements or quickness of wit necessary to write, to actually say something, are completely out of the question. -Stacy Pershall, Loud in the House of Myself: Memoir of a Strange Girl
- When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. – Harriet Beecher Stowe
