Much sadder: “You are going to hurt me, please don’t hurt me, just one more moment, I beg you!” (Madame du Barry)

They weren’t words she said while dying - they were just the last words she said. They were meant to be “as I drive away with panache in a hot car” words.
“Turn up the lights. I don’t want to go home in the dark.” O Henry (William Sydney Porter)

Even though I’m a fairly devout Catholic, I HAVE to respect the old Green Mountain Boy, Ethan Allen. As he was lying on his deathbed, an attending clergymen tried to offer the usualy encouraging words. He said something to the effect that the chours of angels were waiting for him. In annoyance, Allen shot back, “Waiting, are they? Let them wait!”
Not really his last words but,
“They love you here in Texas Mr. President”
John Connoly to JFK right before he was shot in Dallas.
“Such is life” - Ned Kelly
“Don’t disturb my circles.” - Archimedes
“I am going to the inevitable” - Phillip Larkin
Actor George Sanders killed himself in 1972, leaving this note: “Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck.”
It would’ve been ideal if he’d stopped after the first sentence.
“Moose…indian”
-Thoreau
“From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee!”
H. Beam Piper’s suicide note ended
Ever considerate, he put dropcloths over his walls and floor before shooting himself.
“I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man”
-Che Guevara
I know it’s disputed as to whether or not he actually said this…but it’s still pretty cool.
I’ll probably go out on “Finally… my experiment was a SUCCESS!”
:smack: That takes some of the glow off of the words!
She didn’t say that after the accident, silly. She waved and told her friends she was off to glory – as a dancer – and then died tragically a moment later. 
So, pride goeth before a snapped neck?
In this case, immediately before. :eek:
I guess I won’t be able to say I wasn’t warned… 
Can’t remember where I heard this or who supposedly said it but the story is a man on his death bed gestures a friend close. When the friend leans in to hear the whisper the dying man touches him and says, “Tag, you’re it,” then dies.
