4) "I'll settle for the epitaph given by Marlene Dietrich's Gypsy to Orson Welles's cop in Touch Of Evil: He was some kind of man. What does it matter what you say about people?"

5) "I leave you with my epitaph - it sums up what this crazy ride on life's merry-go-round has been all about: In memory of xxxx, the editor who found the oldest budgie in Britain."
