Death
The last years of Olga de Meyer's life were not pleasant ones. As an observer wrote, "Nervous, drugged, surrounded by ambiguous friends and accompanied by a too-conspicuous husband, Olga had become frankly spiteful. Her scandal-mongering had eliminated the last of her respectable friends, and people visited her only because they could be sure to find a pipe of opium or a sniff of cocaine."
Olga de Meyer died of a heart attack in detoxification clinic in Austria in 1930 or 1931.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Life without a friend is death without a witness.”
—Spanish proverb.
“In the twentieth century, death terrifies men less than the absence of real life. All these dead, mechanized, specialized actions, stealing a little bit of life a thousand times a day until the mind and body are exhausted, until that death which is not the end of life but the final saturation with absence.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
