“And now, I am dying beyond my means. [Sipping champagne on his deathbed]”
Oscar Wilde
“You, like many people, have more debt than you want. This is a lot more common than you think. If doesn't matter if you have a lot of income or a little. If you spend more than you make, you will sink into debt.”
Sandra Langton
“I just can't see going into more debt for a recreation center. There's needs, wants and desires, and we need to take care of the needs. I think it's foolish to have more debt.”
George Stewart
“A new kind of award has been added -- the deathbed award. It is not an award of any kind. Either the recipient has not acted at all, or was not nominated, or did not win the award the last few times around. It is intended to relieve the guilty conscience of the Academy members and save face in front of the public. The Academy has the horrible taste to have a star, choking with emotion, present this deathbed award so that there can be no doubt in anybody's mind why the award is so hurriedly given. Lucky is the actor who is too sick to watch the proceedings on television.”
Marlene Dietrich
“I wanted to be sure I was able to say on my deathbed, 'I did the best I could do for you,' ... I believe you have to balance your philanthropy. The arts, culture, education, are all very important, but in the long run those things won't mean a damn thing if we don't keep our environment healthy and thriving.”
Rutherford Seydel
“He literally learned about it on his deathbed, ... He was so happy to hear this.”
Rick Fitzgerald
“I'm very proud of my gold pocket watch. My grandfather, on his deathbed, sold me this watch.”
Woody Allen
