“Trapped in life, only escape I know is death.”

“Animals, these beings trapped
As I am trapped but not, themselves, the trap,
Aging, but without knowledge of their age,
Kept safe here, knowing not of death, for death
— Oh, bars of my own body, open, open!The world goes by my cage and never sees me.”

“Life is a vexatious trap; when a thinking man reaches maturity and attains to full consciousness he cannot help feeling that he is in a trap from which there is no escape.”

“Before you can escape from your burrow you must know you are trapped. Then there's a chance.”

“A trap is only a trap if you don't know about it. If you know about it, it's a challenge.”

“For men and women alike, this journey is a the trajectory between birth and death, a human life lived. No one escapes the adventure. We only work with it differently.”

“What are clouds, but an excuse for the sky? What is life, but an escape from death?”

“I would feel real trapped in this life if I didn't know I could commit suicide at any time.”

“She has been condemned to death by hanging. A man
may escape this death by becoming the hangman, a
woman by marrying the hangman. But at the present
time there is no hangman; thus there is no escape.
There is only a death, indefinitely postponed. This is
not fantasy, it is history.”

“I think of death only with tranquility, as an end. I refuse to let death hamper life. Death must enter life only to define it.”
