May my ideas inspire future generations to push the boundaries of knowledge.
Ah! I am not understood. I am not understood.
I have no time.
You will publicly beg Jacobi or Gauss to give their opinion, not on the truth, but on the importance of these theorems. After this, there will be people who will, I hope, find it profitable to decipher all this mess.
My dear friend, I have made some new discoveries in the theory of equations. The first concerns the solvability of equations by radicals.
I have no time to write out this theory, and I have no one to help me.
I beg you to preserve this letter. It contains the most important things I have found.
I die a victim of an infamous coquette.
I have been deceived.
