"If you are of the opinion that the contemplation of suicide is sufficient evidence of a poetic nature, do not forget that actions speak louder than words"

- Fran Lebowitz

About this Quote

This quote by Fran Lebowitz is a pointer that words alone are not enough to show one's poetic nature. While it may be appealing to presume that someone who contemplates suicide is a poetic soul, it is very important to remember that actions speak louder than words. It is inadequate to just think about suicide; one should act to demonstrate their poetic nature. This might include composing poetry, producing art, or taking part in other imaginative activities. Ultimately, it is not enough to simply consider suicide; one should take action to demonstrate their poetic nature.
