I’ve been accused of having a death wish but I think it’s life that I wish for, terribly, shamelessly, on any terms whatsoever.

Tennessee Williams
About This Quote

The idea that you have a death wish is usually used to describe people who are reckless, who are willing to put themselves in dangerous, even fatal situations. However, you have to ask yourself if this is really what you want. If it is, then the only way out of the situation will be through death. If you want life, then there is no other choice but to keep fighting back.
