From: "Edwin Johnston"

"Rumors of my early demise have been greatly exaggerated."

-- Sacagewea
That was Mark Twain, upon learning that his obituary had been published.

"I'd rather be in Philadelphia."

-- W.C. Fields
Actually, the quote was: "On the whole, I'd rather be in Philadelphia." ... it
was what he had requested to be inscribed upon his tombstone. No, not the
pizza. After his death, his relatives did not honor this request, opting for
the simple epitaph: "William Claude Fields 1880 - 1946"
