Évariste Galois quotes

Évariste Galois was a French mathematician known for founding group theory and laying the groundwork for modern algebra. His insightful contributions fundamentally changed the study of equations and symmetry. He died tragically young, but his work continues to influence mathematics to this day. Here are 4 of his quotes:
