Last words QUOTES

3 " Nineteenth-century preacher Henry Ward Beecher's last words were " Now comes the mystery." The poet Dylan Thomas, who liked a good drink at least as much as Alaska, said, " I've had eighteen straight whiskeys. I do believe that's a record," before dying. Alaska's favorite was playwright Eugene O'Neill: " Born in a hotel room, and--God damn it--died in a hotel room." Even car-accident victims sometimes have time for last words. Princess Diana said, " Oh God. What's happened?" Movie star James Dean said, " They've got to see us," just before slamming his Porsche into another car. I know so many last words. But I will never know hers. "

5 " Jesus Hollywood believed in a lot of things.
He believed that the stars in the sky were only ghostly images of dead things. He believed in the grass on the side of the highway as he whipped by. He believed in the sound of a gun cocking. He believed that the heart gave up long before it stopped beating. He believed last words and bedside confessions were only half-assed last-ditch efforts at Redemption signalling imminent death. He believed in lust and rage and that pain is the only proof that one is alive.
Jesus Hollywood believed that there was no God, no gods, no Divine Being and he certainly believed that Heaven was only a placating fabrication. He believed Love At First Sight was a myth; that Love was masquerading as Lust. He believed Karma was for those too afraid to be selfish. He believed that Luck and Chance, along with Fate and Destiny, were words the weak used to explain away their inaction. He believed that if you wore a long-sleeved shirt, you could win every game of cards with the right poker face and a few extra cards stashed up your sleeves.
Jesus Hollywood certainly did not believe in love.
And now, Jesus Hollywood believed he was fucked. "
