I am fascinated by last words. Like Oscar Wilde who said, “Either that wallpaper goes, or I do,” and then died. Or Humphrey Bogart, whose final words were: “I never should’ve switched from scotch to martinis.” James Dean said, “They’ve gotta see us” Just before slamming his Porsche into another car. My favorite last words ever, the French poet Francois Rabelais, who said, “I go to seek a Great Perhaps,” because that’s what I was after too. Except I wanted to find my Great Perhaps before I died.
