Mine is Voltaire, who when asked by a priest "do you now renounce the devil and all his works?" responded with "Father, this is no time to be making enemies!"

Whats yours?

I don't know any specify quotes per se. But, I know my favorite kind: the drug-induced, vengeful confession.

"My son...come closer..."

"Yes father...?"

"Tell your mother..."

"Yes...?"

"...Tell her she was the worst f*** I ever had!"

"?!"

My favorite deathbed quote comes from my Step-Mother-in-Law's Dad. His last words were about the illness that took his life, "This is all a bunch of bull sh. . . ."

"I have a terrific headache"
FDR, President of the United States. :)


And if he HAD died at the time
"Honey, I forgot to duck!"
Ronald Reagan after getting shot by John Hinckley, Jr.

You should make it into a list of great quotes generally, as it stands the thread is a touch esoteric.

One of my favourite quotes was from Winston Churchill, the person speaking to him was a female reporter whose name escapes me, as does the context.

Reporter: "If you were my husband I'd poison your tea".

Churchill: "My dear, if you were my wife, I'd drink it".

Oscar Wilde :"Well, one of us had to go."

My Uncle Avery;

Avery: These drugs are giving me bad flashbacks from Nam'.
Me: Well Avery, thats pretty bad since you were never in Nam'.

"HERK......bleh"

Me, run? Why bother when I have a spaceship? :p

Can't remember the guy's name, but he was a Renaissance-era general in Italy. His last words were: "I do not intend to die today!" Mere seconds later, a cannonball struck him in the head.
