Death
I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve immortality through not dying.
—
Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
—
It's not that I'm afraid to die. It's just that I don't want to be there when it happens.
—
All say, "How hard it is that we have to die" — a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
—
I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.
—
I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.
—
The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
