i have always found these so moving... i think they give deep insight into someone's truest self, knowing the things they say at the threshold between worlds.

  • "The sadness will last forever." -- Vincent van Gogh (in a suicide note)
  • "Where is my clock?" -- Salvador Dalì
  • "Pardon me, sir. I did not do it on purpose." -- Marie Antoinette (she had stepped on her executioner's foot)
  • “Why do you weep. Did you think I was immortal?” -- Louis XIV
  • "I can't sleep." -- J.M. Barrie
  • "God will forgive me. It is his profession." -- Heinrich Heine
  • "The taste of death is upon my lips… I feel something, that is not of this earth." -- Mozart
  • "Get my swan costume ready." -- Anna Pavlova
  • "This is the fight of day and night. I see black light." -- Victor Hugo
  • "I have not told half of what I saw." -- Marco Polo
  • "My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go." -- Oscar Wilde
  • "Now why did I do that?" -- General William Erskine (after jumping from a window in Lisbon... ah this one makes me very sad...)

update twenty minutes later: ah i've been doing this for too long ! now whenever i read something i think it's someone's last words. this might become troublesome.

five minutes after that: i always have some song in my head and for the past minute i've been singing a song from nick and norah's infinite playlist and i just remembered it's called "last words!" this is why i don't drink caffeine, it makes me incredibly hyper and morbid ahaha :/
