Évariste Galois

I have no fear of death.

I die for a cause.

I have revealed secrets.

I have opened new paths.

My ideas will live on.

I have suffered much.

I have loved much.

I have lived intensely.

I have no more to say.

I hope that my work will be useful to future generations.

Alas, I have not enough time!

I beg you to remember that I die for my country.

You will publicly beg Cauchy, or Jacobi, to make their opinion known, not as to the truth, but as to the importance of these theorems. After that, 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 analysis.

There is something to be done in this field, not for the sake of science, but for the sake of humanity.

I have no time. I have no time.

Judge, if you please, of the importance of these theorems.

The problem of the solvability of equations by radicals is reduced to the problem of knowing if the group of the equation is solvable.

I have often dared to advance propositions which I knew to be false, in order to provoke discussion.

The more I study, the more I am convinced that there is no truth outside of mathematics.
