famous last words

Thanks to John Green, author of "Looking for Alaska," I now have a newfound interest in learning people's last words.
Sounds a little eerie, and maybe a little twisted, I know.
But it really is interesting.
And sometimes funny, but I didn't just say that, because that makes me a weenie.


Here are the last words of some famous individuals:


John Quincy Adams- "This is the last of Earth! I am content."
James M. Barrie- "I can't sleep."
Henry Ward Beecher- "Now comes the mystery."
Louisa Edith Cavell- "Standing, as I do, in the view of God and eternity I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone."
Grover Cleveland- "I have tried so hard to do the right."
Karl Marx- "Go on, get out. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough."
Oscar Wilde- "Either this wallpaper goes, or I do!"
Thomas Edison- "It is very beautiful over there."
Leonardo da Vinci- "I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have."
Bob Marley- "Money can't buy life."
George Harrison- "Love one another."
Henrik Isben- Nurse speaking to Isben said "You seem to be feeling better this morning." Isben responded, "On the contrary" and died.
