Lousy capitalist! No picture! No one here to take my picture! All capitalists lousy bunch of crooks! [as his head was strapped in] Adios to all the world! Go ahead! Push the button!"

"What did I do wrong?"

"The act of taking my own life is not something I am doing without a lot of thought. I don't believe that people should take their own lives without deep and thoughtful reflection over a considerable period of time. I do believe strongly, however, that the right to do so is one of the most fundamental rights that anyone in a free society should have. For me much of the world makes no sense, but my feelings about what I am doing ring loud and clear to an inner ear and a place where there is no self, only calm. Love always, Wendy."

"Brothers! Brothers, please! This is a house of peace!"

"Let's rock."

"I am very sensible of the attatchment you show me, and I hasten to thank you for it, as I feel I am now come to my last illness."

"Get 'em all out of here!"

"Descorde, Walter, a nom de le deable!"

"You guys doin' that right?"

"Tell them I've had a wonderful life."

"Yes, I would just like to say I'm sailing with the rock, and I'll be back, like Independence Day with Jesus. June 6, like the movie. Big mother ship and all, I'll be back, I'll be back."

"Joseph! Joseph! Joseph!"

"Alaska, play "My Way" by Frank Sinatra."

"Ain't that a bitch."

"Of course I know who you are. You're my girl. I love you."

"The best of all is: God is with us."

"Leave me alone - I'm fine."

"A mon Madame, de Sacré Maria, jo comant cros, a il, a ses preres, vait moi acorder a privé Fiz, nostre Seignur, Jhesu Christ."

"That's a nice way to die. They was laughing when I made my last exit."

"Goodnight, my love. Goodnight. Goodnight."

"I'm not going to waste no time talking about my lifestyle, my case, my punishment. Mom, you've been there for me from the beginning. I love you. To my nieces, nephew and uncle I love you very much. Y'all stick together. Don't worry about me. I'm OK."

"I don't want to die."

"Six one going down."

"Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that – everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V."

"Kill me good."

"והכינו כסא לחזקיהו מלך יהודה שבא (Vehachinu kisse leChizkiyyahu melech Yehudah shebba)"

"These confounded railroads have a passion for smashing up my best cars."

"Let's go for a drive."

"Take me home. I was born in the South and I wish to die and be buried in the South."

"I am just going. Have me decently buried and do not let my body be into a vault in less than two days after I am dead. Do you understand me? ["Yes," replied Tobias Lear, his secretary.] Tis well."

"I'm out of here, man. I'm gone. Keep me in your hearts."

"Carry me to the fort, boys. Let's go forward."

"This is your friend. Don't forget to tell me how your mother is."

"Go away. I'm all right."

"I know it!"

"Let's go, I'm ready to go for this thing, we can win this thing!"

"Shift! Shift!"

"My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go."

"Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying. Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd."
