one more thing before i drop the whole beethoven pondering

Words from his deathbed...

Applaud, my friends, the comedy is over

And then there was Bernard de Fontenelle (1657-1757), French philosopher at his deathbed said...

"I feel nothing, apart from a certain difficulty in continuing to exist."

"Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." Pancho Villa at his deathbed. (I guess he didn't do his homework.)

Guevara, Ernesto "Che" (1928-1967) (my favorite quote)
"I know you have come to kill me. Shoot, coward. You are only going to kill a man."

No actually i recall this one that's better than all the rest!

"Hold the cross high so I may see it through the flames!" Joan of Arc

I met a lady who, as a little girl, was on a train stopped by pancho. Her father was the conductor and gave water for his horses. So Pancho gave him the most unique weapon I have ever seen. It was a short whip with a beautiful curved knife built into the handle. When I met her, over ten years ago, she was writing her stories down. I don't remember her name. So I guess it has to end like this...

Horses? We don't need no stinkin' horses!
