A Quote by David Levithan

You existed. You existed now as a fractal. Definition: A fractal is generally a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be broken into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole. Maybe I was a fractal. Maybe the photographer was a fractal. Maybe we were all fractals.

Maybe relationships could have fractals, too. And maybe the sense of loss was when you're becoming a fractal of what you once were to each other.

I conceived, developed and applied in many areas a new geometry of nature, which finds order in chaotic shapes and processes. It grew without a name until 1975, when I coined a new word to denote it, fractal geometry, from the Latin word for irregular and broken up, fractus. Today you might say that, until fractal geometry became organized, my life had followed a fractal orbit.

Benoit Mandelbrot

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

Benoit Mandelbrot

I make fractals. They're like mathematical pictures. My stepdad is actually a rocket scientist, so in his free time, he gave me a fractal program for fun. He showed me how to use it when I was about nine or 10, and I made thousands of fractals.

Any issue and any problem, no matter what height you look at it from, no matter how much you extend past the first fractal, it's still a fractal of something that emanates from within your consciousness - from within the human consciousness. And it'll move on and manifest itself externally, and then those are what we pick up as societal ills. But all these battles we're fighting are internal. For me, it's reconciling hope with dread and trying to cut out some place in my mind where my heart can be protected a little bit.

I fell in love with flora of all types, especially ferns. Loved the sparse structure and repetition of shape - almost fractal.

Jack Dorsey

Fractal geometry is everywhere, even in lines drawn in the sand. It's the cycle of life... You see fractals in plants, in flowers. Within the human lung are branches within branches.

Ron Eglash

The theory of chaos and theory of fractals are separate, but have very strong intersections. That is one part of chaos theory is geometrically expressed by fractal shapes.

Benoit Mandelbrot

A fractal is a way of seeing infinity.

Benoit Mandelbrot

If you have a hammer, use it everywhere you can, but I do not claim that everything is fractal.

Benoit Mandelbrot

In the mind's eye, a fractal is a way of seeing infinity.

James Gleick

The universe is fractal. The closer you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.

John Lloyd

The first of the request prayers in the daily Amidah is a fractal. It replicates in miniature the structure of the Amidah as a whole.

Jonathan Sacks

All created forms are fractal, as is their purpose, use, and allotted time for existence.

Guy Finley

I started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry.

Ron Eglash

It's a product of the fractal laws that govern the world at an informational level. There is no deeper truth.
