Famous last words
Humphrey Bogart, actor:
"I should never have switched from scotch to martinis."
Ludwig van Beethoven, composer and pianist:
There are a variety of reports regarding Beethoven's last words. Some say the composer, who was deaf by the end of his life, said:
"I will hear in heaven"
while others suggest he said:
"Plaudite, amici, comedia finita est" (Applaud, friends, the comedy is finished)
But still others say that after a publisher brought the composer 12 bottles of wine, his final words were:
"Pity, pity, too late!"
Groucho Marx, comedian and film star:
"This is no way to live!"
Leonardo da Vinci, inventor and painter:
"I have offended God and mankind because my work did not reach the quality it should have."
Augustus Caesar, first Roman emperor:
"I found Rome of clay; I leave it to you of marble." — what he reportedly said to his subjects.
"Have I played the part well? Then applaud me as I exit." — what he reportedly said to his friends who were with him throughout his reign.
Karl Marx, philosopher:
"Last words are for fools who haven't said enough."
