> Is it true that Oscar Wilde's last words were -
"Either this wallpaper goes or I go"

There is divided opinion on this one. There are some that say that he did say it (it is documented) but not in the context of famous last words. He must have spoken it quite some time before he died as I wouldn't imagine he was in any fit state to utter witticisms in his final throes of meningitis.

There are others that say he never said it - it was only attributed to him. It can't be proved one way or the other. Still it is an interesting little anecdote.
