"on the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia," famous last words of W.C. Fields (or at least that's the rumor) Anybody else know any good deathbed quotes? In honor of Friday the 13th, of course! |

First one a literal death "bed" quote: quote: Jimmy Glass (electrocuted June 12, 1987) The second, not so literal. (though that could be argued...) quote: Irving Fisher, Professor of Economics, Yale University, 1929. |

The only really good one I can think of is one by Emily Dickinson (if I'm wrong someone please correct me!) She was lying on her death bed, everyone thought she was dead, she sat up and said "The fog is rising lets go in" I thought that was quite interesting... *Being an angel doesn't mean having a halo or wings, it means doing the right thing and wanting to make a difference* |

I just thought of another...I believe it was by Emerson, and it was "I can feel the millipede inside me" I'm still trying to understand that one! *Being an angel doesn't mean having a halo or wings, it means doing the right thing and wanting to make a difference* |

"That's obvious." John Kennedy, 35th president of the United States, was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald as he was traveling by motorcade through the streets of Dallas. Kennedy was visiting Dallas to help prepare for his coming election campaign. Many citizens were lining the streets to watch the procession as it passed. Kennedy had just responded to the Texas governor's wife's comment, "Mr. President, you can't say that Dallas doesn't love you" when the first of Oswald's bullets struck him in the head. |

"Dying is easy. Comedy is difficult." -- Edmund Gwenn , an English stage actor, originally discovered by George Bernard Shaw, who became a Hollywood star in his middle age. Twice nominated for an Academy Award, he won an Oscar as the Best Supporting Actor in Miracle on 34th Street in his most remembered role as Santa Claus.

My favorite last words: "Friends applaud, the comedy is over."-Beetoven The most well-known last words: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" OK, here's a little challenge... who can tell me Einstin's last words??? (or the reason that they aren't well-known) False gems may shine as brightly as the genuine article, but there are always those who can tell the difference. |

I always found this one quite amusing.... "I don't feel good." Luther Burbank I guess he had some sort of hidden message in his quote 'eh? hehe j/k < !signature--> *Being an angel doesn't mean having a halo or wings, it means doing the right thing and wanting to make a difference* [This message has been edited by StarPryncess17 (edited 10-13-2000).] |

If you don't mind S, I found a few really interesting ones... Francisco "Pancho" Villa "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." Eugene O'Neill "Born in a hotel room--and God damn it--died in a hotel room." James French "How about this for a headline? French fries." George Kelly "My dear, before you kiss me good-bye, fix you hair. It's a mess." Conrad N. Hilton "Leave the shower curtain on the inside of the tub." Johnny Frank Garrett "I'd like to thank my family for loving me and taking care of me. And the rest of the world can kiss my ass." Thomas de Mahay, Marquis de Favras "I see that you have made three spelling mistakes." The Marquis de Favras was caught by the radicals of the French Revolution as he plotted to help Louis XVI escape. Convicted of treason after a two month trial, he was handed his official death sentence by the court clerk as he was led to the scaffold. sorry for taking up all the room...just found them interestin and thought I'd share.  *Being an angel doesn't mean having a halo or wings, it means doing the right thing and wanting to make a difference* |
