Farewells: Last Words, Last Thoughts, Last Things

By Paul D. Erland

"Man is the only animal that contemplates death, and also the only animal that shows any doubt of its finality." -- William Ernest Hocking.Everyone thinks about death from time to time, even if no one really expects it to happen to them. In this book you'll find a wide-ranging collection of observations, conjectures, and commentary about death, spoken or written by the famous, the near-famous, and the not-so-famous. "If I were a maker of books, I would make a register, with comments, of various deaths. He who would teach men to die would teach them to live." -- Montaigne.
