Famous Last Words Quiz
How can one adequately cap off their life in a few sentences? Is such a momentous task even possible? Many historical figures have tried to summarize their philosophies in their final words, and others have instead used their dying words for more comedic purposes. Additionally, there are some people whose last words are famously mundane or bizarre because the person speaking had no idea they were about to pass away.
This quiz will focus on all three types of last words: the profound, the humorous, and the surprisingly average. Everyone has last words. When looking through the annals of history, there is no shortage of interesting final statements given by historical people.
With that in mind, we have had to be quite selective when deciding which quotes should and shouldn’t appear in this quiz. A few particularly famous examples had to be left off for space, but we believe we’ve collected a fairly impactful sample of interesting quotes for various reasons. A few of these quotes are alleged culturally rather than historically, but we will let you know in such cases to avoid confusion.
Some of the gathered quotes even manage to shed additional light on the people we read about in history books. Others . . . well . . . can at least make us laugh when we consider their context.
As much as to test, this quiz is meant to inform. So, we hope you come out of it knowing something new.
