{"product_id":"last-words-a-dictionary-of-deathbed-quotations","title":"Last Words: A Dictionary of Deathbed Quotations","description":"The last words of the dying often provide insight into their feelings about life. 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).\nNearly 2,000 deathbed quotations from saints, popes, statesmen, scientists, soldiers, musicians, athletes, artists, entertainers, writers, criminals and others are included in this reference work. Each entry includes a brief biographical sketch of the person and sets the quotation in context. The sources for the quotes include biographies, newspaper and magazine accounts, and, in a few instances, firsthand accounts.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0786425520\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0786425520.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ruffin, C.
