Quote by Erich Maria Remarque
English (Source)
I reassure myself that it is better to die when you still want to live than when you want to die. (...) If a person still wants to live, then there is something that he loves. This makes it difficult, but also makes it easier. Look, I must die anyway, and now I'm grateful to fate that you were mine. After all, I could have been left to myself, I could have been unhappy. Then I would rather die. Of course, it's harder that way. On the other hand, I am full of love like the bee is full of honey when she returns to the hive in the evening. And if I had to choose between the two options, I would only choose this one.
