While reading a magazine I was delighted to find these lingering last words. Now these are just a few samples of a body of written work that could be developed into a story, a book, a novel.
1. It is said that while French writer Voltaire was on his deathbed, the attending priest wanted him to renounce Satan. Voltaire's classic response was, "Now is not the time to make new enemies"
2. Norwegian playwright and poet Henrik Ibsen was told by nurse that his health was improving. Again another classic reply, "On the contrary." He died the next day.
3. Henry David Thoreau was asked by his aunt to make peace with God as he was slowly dying from a deadly combination of tuberculosis and bronchitis. His classic reply, "I didn't know we had quarrelled."
