Book: Veronika Decides to Die

Jan 26, 2026

Life is a journey; make sure you don’t miss a thing.
What makes a person hate themselves? Cowardice, perhaps. Or the eternal fear of being wrong, of not doing what others expect.
She hated the way she had lived her life, never bothering to discover the hundreds of other Veronikas who lived inside her and who were interesting, mad, curious, brave, bold.
No one should let themselves get used to anything.
You can’t spend the whole day waiting for night to come, because soon that will end.
The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what you encounter.
Stop thinking all the time that you are in the way or bothering the person next to you. If people don’t like it, they can complain. And if they don’t have the courage to complain, that is their problem.
To control your mind or to let your mind control you.
Stop thinking. Pretend that everything is all right, and then everything will be.
Veronica had never experienced the most hidden part of her own desires, and the result was that half of her life had been unknown to her.
If only everyone could know and live with their inner madness, people would be fairer and happier.
An awareness of death encourages us to live more intensely.
