“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. 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.”
― Benoît B. Mandelbrot, The Fractal Geometry of Nature

“Fractals, therefore, are also taken as a type of art, denoting the nature of the world around us, as well as the infinity and continuity that are reflected almost evidently in them.”

“The brain highlights what it imagines as patterns; it disregards contradictory information. Human nature yearns to see order and hierarchy in the world. It will invent it where it cannot find it.”
― Benoît B. Mandelbrot, The (Mis)Behavior of Markets

“With the invention of the fractals, what was once unrecognizable became recognized, and what was vague became distinguishable even in plain graphics. One fact becomes clear: nature is full of beauty as the colours of infinity pictured in fractals. They may appear vague in the initial view, but the beauty and precision become apparent the minute the colors appear, making us realize that with mystery comes the reality that the universe is not as alien as it may seem. ”
