Demise Quotes - Page 2

• Quiero morir a los cien años con una bandera estadounidense a la espalda y la estrella de Texas en el casco, después de bajar a gritos un descenso alpino en bicicleta a 120 kilómetros por hora. Quiero cruzar una última línea de meta mientras mi mujer y mis diez hijos aplauden, y luego tumbarme en un campo de esos famosos girasoles franceses y expirar con gracia, la perfecta contradicción con mi antes conmovedora y temprana muerte.
