From a New Yorker piece on suicide and the Golden Gate Bride. (Not a very good article, actually, because Tad Friend's a bit of a dope, but some worthwhile stories.)
The quote is by Ken Baldwin, who jumped off the bridge in 1985, but managed to survive. He describes his thoughts as he's falling:
"I instantly realized that everything in my life that I'd thought was unfixable was totally fixable--except for having just jumped."
