Benoît B. Mandelbrot

Citas

• “Being a language, mathematics may be used not only to inform but also, among other things, to seduce.”

• “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.”

• “A cauliflower shows how an object can be made of many parts, each of which is like a whole, but smaller. Many plants are like that. A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds.”

• “When the weather changes and hurricanes hit, nobody believes that the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don’t believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed.”

• “Many creative minds overrate their most baroque works, and underrate the simple ones.”
