Synopsis
"Die! That's the last thing I shall do!" - Lord Palmerton, British Prime Minister
As polished on their deathbed as in life, some professional phrasemakers seem to have rehearsed quotable famous last words.
Others call on their god or their mother. Military men strive to appear brave or patriotic; villains prefer bravado; the aristocracy try to retain their hauteur, even on the scaffold.
Jonathon Green brings together some 2000 of the most memorable quotations from the famous and the infamous who, for whatever reason, were able to sign off in style.
