People have always been fascinated by the last words of others.
Perhaps they hold a touch of wisdom, or a final joke, or even confirmation of who's getting what in the will.
In light of that, Business Insider put together a list of the reported last words of 18 famous historical figures.
Check them out below.
1. Karl Marx, philosopher.
"Last words are for fools who haven't said enough."

2. Richard Feynman, theoretical physicist. Nobel Prize winner.
"I'd hate to die twice. It's so boring."

3. Archimedes, mathematician.
"Stand away, fellow, from my diagram!"
Archimedes was killed during the Second Punic War. According to the historian Plutarch, a soldier reportedly came up to the mathematician and told him to go with him to Marcellus. Archimedes, however, refused to do so until he finished the problem he was working on. Enraged, the soldier killed him.

Jesus on the cross but his last words before his ascension in Acts 1:
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
