Last words of famous people (21 photos)

Epicurus once said: "Do not be afraid of death: while you are alive - it is not, when it comes, you will not be."

Eternal peace is inevitable, what was, is and most likely will be. But for some reason we are still afraid of death and try to do everything to delay the moment of the last words (preferably surrounded by relatives, without pain and suffering).





And Leo Tolstoy wrote the following in his diary: "The word dying is especially significant!". What famous people say, who have earned respect during their lifetime, has always been valuable, but especially valuable were their last words before closing their eyes forever.

Michael Bulgakov



When a dying writer tossed about on his bed in his deathbed delirium, his wife Elena kept trying to understand what was so worrying about the dying. Maybe be his work? He somehow vaguely nodded and she clarified: "Master and Margarita?"

Mikhail Afanasyevich nodded and his last words were: "To know, to know..."

Eugene O'Neill



Sad irony - he was born in a hotel room "Broadway Hotel", and died in a room at the Boston Hotel. The last thing he said was: "I knew it! I knew it! Born in a hotel and... damn... dying in hotel".

Ernest Hemingway



The writer said to his wife: "Good night, kitten." And then he went to my room and a couple of minutes later my wife heard a shot. Hemingway committed suicide.

What was it like for his wife to even think scary ...

But he was able to leave a powerful cultural mark and, to some extent, turn the world of painting.

The Mexican "dove", as her husband Diego called her, survived her there is so much life that it is difficult to condemn her for these words. strong little Frida, who told her pain through her paintings.

It would be strange to expect something banal and he did not disappoint. The writer was dying in a hotel room and fading eyes looking around the walls, he sighed and said: “There is disgusting wallpaper in this room. One of us will have to leave."

Elegant as always.

"Applause, friends, the comedy is over..."

The cruel irony of life: the composer, who became a legend during his lifetime, lost his hearing. But the genius in him was so strong that he continued to create their masterpieces even when deaf. I would like to believe that the last thing he "heard" - this is a thunder of applause.
