A Quote from Augustine's City of God

It is not without significance, that in no passage of the holy canonical books there can be found either divine precept or permission to take away our own life, whether for the sake of entering on the enjoyment of immortality, or of shunning, or ridding ourselves of anything whatever.

Nay, the law, rightly interpreted, even prohibits suicide, where it says, "Thou shalt not kill."… The commandment is, "Thou shall not kill man;" therefore neither another nor yourself, for he who kills himself still kills nothing else than man.
