Conan the Cimmerian, faced with certain death: "All over, huh? Man, my life was awesome. My death is going to be even better!"
Elric of Melnibone, getting his foot stuck in the mud: "What a cruel cosmic joke that I should come to such an end. Yet it is fitting that such an ignoble end as this should come to the universe's greatest fool. It was hubris to think that I could strive against the fate of this world. The gods laugh at my feeble idealism. It is right that I should die here and vanish into the dust of history."
