Flying and Death
First of all I did it again! I took another minute off my morning ride. m: 25'01, t: 24'08, today: 22'54! Woo!
and now, some excellent Mark Twain quotes on death:
Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated
- Twain, multiple sources.
A distinguished man should be as particular about his last words as he is about his last breath. He should write them out on a slip of paper and take the judgment of his friends on them. He should never leave such a thing to the last hour of his life, and trust to an intellectual spurt at the last moment to enable him to say something smart with his latest gasp and launch into eternity with grandeur.
- "The Last Words of Great Men", 1869*
The Impartial Friend: Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all--the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.
- Mark Twain, last written statement; Moments with Mark Twain, Paine*
