Johnny Carson : [on his interview show] Does it worry you that, uh, when you die, that there's not going to be nirvana or whatever you care to call it?
Madalyn Murray O'Hair : When I die I don't want some religious nut shoving a rosary up my ass or communion wafer down my throat. But I wouldn't mind a small corner of the outdoors where the sun can filter through the trees and lay a gentle hand on my face. Three words on my tombstone. "Woman." I've loved being a woman. "Grandmother." I've loved being a grandmother. And "mother." I have loved being a mother. That's what I'd like to be remembered for most. That's what I'd like it to say on my tombstone, but... being who I am, I'm not expecting I'll be having a goddamn tombstone.
