How dumb are you?

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-".

It is too bad there is no "I'm in love" smiley.

Victor Hugo's funeral was attended by three million people.

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?
