Death
I will never fully open to anyone. Even to the dearest ones. Everyone has to keep their secrets, have something for oneself. For who? For yourself! If you give away everything then who are you? Why do you need insides, skin on the surface which hides something? When you talk to people, if it's compulsory, you put on a mask and its the only thing that will save you. For me its easy. But if I don't want to wear a mask, I leave. I think we all wear masks, every one of us.
—Vytautas Šapranauskas
He committed suicide just before his 55th birthday. Before killing himself, he texted several friends about his intentions, but nobody believed him, knowing him as a comedian.[2]
