An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in inventing something.

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

One couldn't even measure roughness. So, by luck, and by reward for persistence, I did found the theory of roughness, which certainly I didn't expect and expecting to found one would have been pure madness.

There is a joke that your hammer will always find nails to hit. I find that perfectly acceptable

Humanity has known for a long time what fractals are. It is a very strange situation in which an idea which each time I look at all documents have deeper and deeper roots, never (how to say it), jelled.

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.

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