Some are peaceful (\"It is very beautiful over there\"--Thomas Alva Edison); many are spiritual (\"Don't ask the Lord to keep me here. Ask him to have mercy\"--Walker Percy); others are angry (\"God-damn the whole frigging world and everybody in it--except you Carlotta\"--W.C. Fields); still others reflect the weary fight against death (\"I'm bored of it all\"--Sir Winston Churchill).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nearly 2,000 deathbed quotations from saints, popes, statesmen, scientists, soldiers, musicians, athletes, artists, entertainers, writers, criminals and others are included in this reference work.
