From the Enduring Fascination with Last Words Department:

Enrique Vila-Matas recalls that his mother had a lifelong habit of saying strange things, to the point that his grandmother often explained to visitors: "The child, you see, has lived in Paris."  On her deathbed, his mother spoke a few last words that "due to their premeditated strangeness, sounded to me like an epitaph, though we didn't dare put them on her tombstone.  'I'll laugh at the bitter things I said,' she said.  Her two brothers looked dismayed.  'It's because she lived in Paris,' I told them."  (From Never Any End to Paris.)
