Astor, Lady Nancy (1879-1964) "Jakie, is it my birthday or am I dying?" (Seeing all her children assembled at her bedside in her last illness.)
Barrymore, John (1882-1942) Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him.
Claudel, Paul (1868-1955) "Doctor, do you think it could have been the sausage?"
Eastman, George (1854-1932) "My work is done, why wait?" (His suicide note.)
Something tells me that people born in the 19th century were a lot more entertaining when dying
