That doesn’t really answer my question. Is that from the Bible? What’s the full quote? I’m not being argumentative here, I really would like to know.
An old pastor I knew (who has since passed on) said once that the Bible never specifically forbids suicide, but that it would be “very selfish to go crashing into God’s house uninvited”.
This might have some help for you...

I don’t believe there is a specific quote, “thou shalt not commit suicide,” however, the discussion about life and the taking of life is all throughout the Bible. Additionally, the 5th Commandment clearly states that shalt not kill (murder)Ex 20:13.
I recommend you read this short section on the 5th Commandment from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (includes Biblical citations) http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a5.htm
Suicide is called out in Paragraphs 2280-2283.
It is a fairly short read.
