Quotes by René Thom  (?)

“The essential point of view advanced here is this: the stability of every
living being, as of every structurally stable form, rests, in the last analysis, on a for-
mal structure—in fact, a geometrical object—whose biochemical realization is the
living being.”
René Thom, Morphogenèse et imaginaire (Circé)

“At a time where so many scholars are calculating, is it not desirable that some, who can, dream?”
René Thom, Structural Stability and Morphogenesis

“A mathematical object, defined by an infinity of operations, can be considered to have a real existence only if this same object can be, as it were, immersed 'in a natural way' in the continuum, and the iteration itself has a continuous representation.”
René Thom
