-Marco Polo, on his death bed in 1324

"More Weight" - Giles Corey 1692.TheDarkEricDraven said:
Ahh yes, my favorite as well. Though it does require some explanation.
From Wikipedia...
Giles Corey (also spelled Cory or Coree, c. 1611 ? September 19, 1692) was a prosperous farmer and full member of the church in early colonial America who died under judicial torture during the Salem witch trials. Corey refused to enter a plea, and was crushed to death by stone weights in an attempt to force him to do so. Corey's reported last words were "More weight"
"No."
- Many criminals in the death row chair, on being asked if they have any last words. Rather cheekily, this is still taken down as their last word.

I like "This is the end" from the song by the Doors.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.
