#Quote
1My children have already planned my memorial service. It's going to be a beautiful ceremony. It could be a very hot ticket.
2I'm not a Republican, and I'm not a Democrat. I'm against whoever's in power. People talk about [Richard Nixon] and I say, "I worship the very quicksand he walks on."
3The question is not why you're going - it's what are you doing here in the first place?
4I just don't want to die the same day [Fidel Castro] dies.
5Even if the meek did inherit the earth, someone would contest the will.

3The New York Times wrote that Buchwald's deathbed had become the "hottest salon" in Washington.
4After Buchwald's right leg was amputated in February 2006 as the result of diabetes, he made the decision to accept the inevitability of his declining health over the prospect of dialysis for the rest of his life. As his kidneys started to fail, he entered a hospice in Washington. It was supposed to be a short stay - perhaps two or three weeks - his doctors said. But as word of his condition emerged, Buchwald began playing host to scores of politicians and celebrities that he had known over his decades as a writer. Visitors included members of the Kennedy family, former CBS newsman Walter Cronkite, singer Carly Simon, former Washington Post Editor Benjamin C. Bradlee, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and television host Phil Donahue.
