"I've had a hell of a lot of fun, and I've enjoyed it, every minute of it."

--Errol Flynn

Disclaimer: A few sites (and at least one book) claim that was actually from a 1958 CBC Radio interview, which imo sounds more plausible than them being his last words.

"If you don't like it, you can fuck off!"

--Keith Moon

This is a picture of Keith Moon and his girlfriend (age 23) the last night he was alive.  I had intended to post a picture with each quote, preferably the last or close to last one taken of the person before they died.  But I forgot the 1-1-1 rule would require me to space out my posts in order to do that.  Wikipedia details his last night, and the meaning of his last words, better than I can.

Actor George Sanders' suicide note:

"Dear World. I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool.  Good luck."
rtpoe

The ground is deep with fallen leaves and nuts of White and Red Oak, and of Beech, that line and fill the footprints and the ruts which all along the wooded pathway reach. First claim, of course, to chipmunk and to squirrel for bleak mid-Winter sustenance belongs, as all around old leaves descend and twirl about, through feathered autumn songs.
