Final Years

Newman spent his final years quietly, moving with his wife to England in 2007 to be nearer to their daughter. He died of pneumonia in Oxford on August 13, 2010. The public announcement of his death was delayed for a little over a month (until September 15), to allow a period of private mourning for his family. Newman was survived by his wife and daughter.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:

    “The purpose of punishment is to improve those who do the punishing—that is the final recourse of those who support punishment.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
    —Orson Welles (1915–1984)
