23 of the Best Last Words of All Time

If you’re a particularly morbid kind of overthinker, you’ve probably given some hefty consideration to your last words. Do you want them to make you sound wise? Clever? Badass? There are more than a few people out there whose families are going to be very confused when they beckon them closer on their deathbeds, at the ripe age of 98, and issue a final request to “hold my beer.”

Alas, most of our last words are going to be boring and dumb. “Call 911,” “Hey, watch out,” things of that nature. Maybe a good “What the fuck is that?” if you’re lucky. Still, a few characters throughout history have managed to eke out some pretty cool last words, listed by Reddit after user jetrocket223 asked r/AskReddit, “What are the best ‘last words’ in history?”
