2. Dominique Bouhours (1628–1702)

"I am about to—or I am going to—die: either expression is correct."

Even in his final moments, this French grammarian couldn’t resist a bit of wordplay.

"Don’t let it end like this. Tell them I said something important!"

A legendary outlaw and revolutionary—he wanted his final words to be just as legendary!
