Order doesn't come by itself.

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

It was astonishing when at one point, I got the idea of how to make artifical clouds with a collaborator, we had pictures made which were theoretically completely artificial pictures based upon that one very simple idea. And this picture everybody views as being clouds.

Many painters had a clear idea of what fractals are. Take a French classic painter named Poussin. Now, he painted beautiful landscapes, completely artificial ones, imaginary landscapes. And how did he choose them? Well, he had the balance of trees, of lawns, of houses in the distance. He had a balance of small objects, big objects, big trees in front and his balance of objects at every scale is what gives to Poussin a special feeling.

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

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

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