Roald Dahl’s last words.
I expect his last two words to be mine.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Though my favorite last words were from the Irish writer Brendan Behan.
He was in a Catholic hospital, on his death bed, and attended by a nurse who was a nun. He stirred to consciousness as she wiped his brow and he said, "Ahhh, thank you sister, and may all your children be bishops."

It is apocryphal, but I like to think that Oscar Wilde's last words were really "Either that wallpaper goes or I do."
