    Originally posted by loseyourname Jesus Christ guys, give me a break. So is it Tolstoy I'm thinking of or not? Excuse me for being confused. I don't have a very good memory.
    All right, all right. Not Tolstoy either. Tolstoy died sound in mind, broken in body. He had several heart attacks in succession. Last words: "Now the end has come; that is all."

    Perhaps you're thinking of Hemingway? He had a broken spirit, quite mentally unstable, and killed himself with a shotgun.

      Nah, Hemingway still lived the life he wrote about. He just got old. Tolstoy was a sedentary drunk and rarely left the house though, right? Perhaps I'm synthesizing the two into one guy.

            Wasn't Tolstoy a born again man who gave away all his wealth and went to live as a peasant during his last years?

            And how cool is it that all great authors have interesting last words? I hope I say some cool last words right before I die, but I'll probably end up saying something like "honey, can you bring me some more of those chocolate covered bisc-".

                  LOL.

                  Oh Baron, I think you'll gasp out something tremendously brilliant. Something about the hayrenik or something. How could YOUR last words not be in ARMENIAN?? Ahh you're too cute.

                    Sure there is:

                    That's what I used to look like when I was in love. Couldn't wipe that ridiculous smile off my face, and really never wanted to.

                    Oh wait, I think I am always smiling like that.

                    Nevermind.

                    So you're in love with Vonnegut, eh? How's he treating you?
