There was a time when I would've dutifully left a note to my mother pinned to the chest of my corpse swinging in the bathroom. Then there was a time when I wouldn't have left a note, and finally there came a time when I wouldn't have hanged myself.

The Irony of Ronald Nimkin
There was a time when I would've dutifully left a note to my mother pinned to the chest of my corpse swinging in the bathroom. Then there was a time when I wouldn't have left a note, and finally there came a time when I wouldn't have hanged myself.
Nimkin is a famous character from Philp Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint"
