When people ask me what's my field? I say, on one hand, a fractalist. Perhaps the only one, the only full-time one.

Fractal geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics, but one that helps Everyman to see the same world differently.

A fractal is a way of seeing infinity.

Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics

Smooth shapes are very rare in the wild but extremely important in the ivory tower and the factory.

Why is geometry often described as cold and dry? One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline or a tree.

Bottomless wonders spring from simple rules, which are repeated without end.

A fractal is a mathematical set or concrete object that is irregular or fragmented at all scales...

If you have a hammer, use it everywhere you can, but I do not claim that everything is fractal.

Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.

Beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That's fractals.

Steve had just met the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Until now his engagement to Christine had never been a concern.

Thou shalt not stir one foot to seek a foe.

Money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace & conspire against it in times of adversity.

My first language was shy. It's only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.

Do not allow your heart to take pleasure with the praises of people, nor be saddened by their condemnation.

All I asked for was equality and independence. A rotating chairmanship might have been the answer.

You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

The Western world is ... looked upon as being arrogant, self-satisfied, greedy and with no limits. And Sept. 11 is an occasion for me to realize it even more.

Einstein's theory, we know that it fails. In advance, we know it fails. So that a deeper understanding of nature is awaiting us.

I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos.
