In contravention of my belief that any life ending in death is essentially pointless, I needed my friends to open up that plastic bag and take one last look at me. Someone had to remember me, if only for a few more minutes in the vast silent waiting room of time. Gary Shteyngart
About This Quote

In the wake of the death of rock musician, Chuck Berry, a friend of his, Dee Murray posted on Facebook: "I love you Chuck Berry and am so sorry you left us all. I will always remember our last conversation. We talked about how you had to die to get to heaven; I'll miss that look on your face when we talked about the afterlife and the angels and the pearly gates." A little research revealed that this was not a new idea: This quote is frequently attributed to Berry's drummer, Johnnie Johnson. However, there is no proof that this is actually true.
