6. Albert Einstein

“It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.”
This list is full of nasty people who said some pretty badass stuff when staring down the end of a gun, but this quote, from one of the smartest me to ever live, may be among the most gangster. There’s no crying, no begging, no last minute deals made with his Higher Power. Like most scientists, Einstein knew when he wouldn’t get favorable results after suffering abdominal aortic aneurysm. He was ready go and he didn’t want anyone to think that he wasn’t cool with it and that he was going into the afterlife with regrets. Hopefully, he believed what he said.
