About this Quote

In this quote, Robert Quine is reviewing a past experience where he saw a suicide in 1974. The use of the word "saw" suggests that he was physically present and saw the event firsthand. The addition of "Suicide" in quote marks might suggest that this was the name of a band or a performance, but making use of "scary" recommends that it was a real and terrible event. This quote highlights the impact that witnessing a suicide can have on an individual, and the fact that Quine remembers it so strongly after several years talks to the lasting result it had on him.
