Wolf took Scarlet's hands into his, as tenderly as he would pick up an injured butterfly, and slid the band onto her finger. His voice was rough and wavering as he recited - "I, Ze'ev Kesley, do hereby claim you, Scarlet Benoit, as my wife and my Alpha. Forevermore, you will be my mate, my star, my beginning of everything." He smiled down at her, his eyes swimming with emotion. Scarlet returned the look, and though Wolf's expression teetered between proud and bashful, Scarlet's face contained nothing but joy. "You are the one. You have always been, and you will always be, the only one.
Scarlet took the second ring - a significantly larger version of the same unadorned band - and pressed it onto Wolf's finger. "I, Scarlet Benoit, do hereby claim you, Ze'ev Kesley, as my husband and my Alpha. Forevermore, you will be my mate, my star, my beginning of everything. You are the one. You have always been, and you will always be, the only one."
Wolf folded his hands around hers. From where she sat, Cinder could see that he was shaking.
Kai grinned. "By the power given to me by the people of Earth, under the laws of the Earthen Union and as witnessed by those gathered here today, I do now pronounce you husband and wife." He spread his hands in invitation. "You may kiss your - "
Wolf wrapped his arms around Scarlet's waist, lifting her off the floor, and kissed her before Kai could finish. Or maybe she kissed him. It seemed mutual, as her hands wound through his dis ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
Think not of what you see, but what it took to produce what you see. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Self-similarity is a dull subject because you are used to very familiar shapes. But that is not the case. Now many shapes which are self-similar again, the same seen from close by and far away, and which are far from being straight or plane or solid. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
The beauty of what I happened by extraordinary chance to put together is that nobody would have believed that this is possible, and certainly I didn't expect that it was possible. I just moved from step to step to step. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
My philosophy on running is, I don't dwell on it, I do it. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
Asking the right questions is as important as answering them ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
In the 1960's, some old-timers on Wall Street-the men who remembered the trauma of the 1929 Crash and the Great Depression-gave me a warning: "When we fade from this business, something will be lost. That is the memory of 1929." Because of that personal recollection, they said, they acted with more caution, than they otherwise might. Collectively, their generation provided an in-built brake on the wildest form of speculation, an insurance policy against financial excess and consequent catastrophe. Their memories provided a practical form of long-term dependence in the financial markets. Is it any wonder that in 1987 when most of those men were gone and their wisdom forgotten, the market encountered its first crash in nearly sixty years? Or that, two decades later, we would see the biggest bull market, and the worst bear market, in generations? Yet standard financial theory holds that, in modeling markets, all that matters is today's news and the expectations of tomorrow's news. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
Victoria glares at him. 'It doesn't mean anything if you don't mean it.'
Zach smiles. 'My dear, I never mean it. ~ Charles Benoit
Benoit quotes by Charles Benoit
Ms. Casey is standing in front of the class explaining how she worked all weekend to get the tests graded so she could hand them back on Monday morning, and you're wondering if you're supposed to be impressed that she did her job. ~ Charles Benoit
Benoit quotes by Charles Benoit
If you have a hammer, use it everywhere you can, but I do not claim that everything is fractal. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
After I finished the Atlantic swim I said "never again," but it didn't take long for me to change my mind. I like to push my limits. I want to raise money for cancer research and to inspire others to follow their dreams. ~ Benoit Lecomte
Benoit quotes by Benoit Lecomte
I… I don't deserve you, Adaline, but God help me, I can't stay away either. ~ J.E. Benoit
Benoit quotes by J.E. Benoit
Love is endless, you can never run out no matter how much of it you give away. ~ Eric T. Benoit
Benoit quotes by Eric T. Benoit
Math. It's your favorite subject. Which surprises you. Last year your teacher tried to convince you that you had a real "aptitude" for math, but all you got in the end was a B minus. The truth is you weren't even trying. But then you got low Cs and Ds in all your other classes and you weren't trying there, either, so maybe you are good at math after all.
You like it because either you're right or you're wrong. Not like social studies and definitely not like English, where you always have to explain your answers and support your opinions. With math it's right or it's wrong and you're done with it. But even that's changing, my teacher said now you have to explain how you solved the problem and support your answer, saying that having the right answer isn't as important as explaining how you got it and bam, just like that, you hate math. ~ Charles Benoit
Benoit quotes by Charles Benoit
Nobody will deny that there is at least some roughness everywhere. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
In this profession mistakes are all a part of it. If you write something flawlessly you've done something wrong. ~ Eric T. Benoit
Benoit quotes by Eric T. Benoit
Smooth shapes are very rare in the wild but extremely important in the ivory tower and the factory. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Most were beginning to feel they had learned enough to last for the rest of their lives. They remained mathematicians, but largely went their own way. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
I was asking questions which nobody else had asked before, because nobody else had actually looked at certain structures. Therefore, as I will tell, the advent of the computer, not as a computer but as a drawing machine, was for me a major event in my life. That's why I was motivated to participate in the birth of computer graphics, because for me computer graphics was a way of extending my hand, extending it and being able to draw things which my hand by itself, and the hands of nobody else before, would not have been able to represent. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
My dream match is me and Chris Benoit against Fit Finlay and William Regal. That way I get to work with Benoit and I get to beat up and get beat up by Finlay and Regal. ~ CM Punk
Benoit quotes by CM Punk
He didn't believe in keeping leashes on pussy and expected the same courtesy in return. That was then. This was now. ~ Em Wolf
Benoit quotes by Em Wolf
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
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
For much of my life there was no place where the things I wanted to investigate were of interest to anyone. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Ze'ev Kesley, do hereby claim you, Scarlet Benoit, as my wife and my Alpha. Forevermore, you will be my mate, my star, my beginning of everything." He smiled down at her, his eyes swimming with emotion. Scarlet returned the look, and though Wolf's expression teetered between proud and bashful, Scarlet's face contained nothing but joy. "You are the one. You have always been, and you will always be, the only one." Scarlet ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
I am really close friends with Roger Federer and also with Benoit Paire. ~ Stanislas Wawrinka
Benoit quotes by Stanislas Wawrinka
I conceived and developed a new geometry of nature and implemented its use in a number of diverse fields. It describes many of the irregular and fragmented patterns around us, and leads to full-fledged theories, by identifying a family of shapes I call fractals. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds. As you come closer to a cloud you don't get something smooth, but irregularities at a smaller scale. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
My life seemed to be a series of events and accidents. Yet when I look back, I see a pattern. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
I had many books and I had dreams of all kinds. Dreams in which were in a certain sense, how to say, easy to make because the near future was always extremely threatening. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Unfortunately, the world has not been designed for the convenience of mathematicians. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
My life has been extremely complicated. Not by choice at the beginning at all, but later on, I had become used to complication and went on accepting things that other people would have found too difficult to accept. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
My fate has been that what I undertook was fully understood only after the fact. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
The most-studied evidence, by the greatest number of economists, concerns what is called short-term dependence. This refers to the way price levels or price changes at one moment can influence those shortly afterwards-an hour, a day, or a few years, depending on what you consider "short." A "momentum" effect is at work, some economists theorize: Once a stock price starts climbing, the odds are slightly in favor of it continuing to climb for a while longer. For instance, in 1991 Campbell Harvey of Duke- he of the CFO study mentioned earlier-studied stock exchanges in sixteen of the world's largest economies. He found that if an index fell in one month, it had slightly greater odds of falling again in the next moth, or, if it had risen, greater odds of continuing to rise. Indeed, the data show, the sharper the move in the first, the more likely is is that the price trend will continue into the next month, although at a slower rate. Several other studies have found similar short-term trending in stock prices. When major news about a company hits the wires, the stock will react promptly-but it may keep on moving for the next few days as the news spreads, analysts study it, and more investors start to act upon it. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
After an earthquake in Los Angeles - The earth in LA moved more in one hour than Benoit Benjamin did all last season with the Clippers. ~ Peter Vecsey
Benoit quotes by Peter Vecsey
One couldn't even measure roughness. So, by luck, and by reward for persistence, I did found the theory of roughness, which certainly I didn't expect and expecting to found one would have been pure madness. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Half-French, half-Greek, one hundred percent grade A asshole. ~ Em Wolf
Benoit quotes by Em Wolf
I didn't want to become a pure mathematician, as a matter of fact, my uncle was one, so I knew what the pure mathematician was and I did not want to be a pure - I wanted to do something different. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
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. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
What about... Cinder?... It's an unassuming name, but also... powerful. Because of where she came from. She survived that fire. She was reborn from the cinders. - Michelle Benoit ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
Adonis watched her walk way. More specifically the hypnotic sway of her hips. The skirt hugged the round shapeliness of her ass. She would definitely be keeping that on with the heels later on tonight. He wasn't the only one who'd noticed her sensual departure. Jealousy stabbed through him like a red-hot poker at the perverts panting after his girl. He balled his fists to prevent himself from doing something stupid. Like tearing out their balls and cramming them down their throats. Chew on that assholes. ~ Em Wolf
Benoit quotes by Em Wolf
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. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
If you thought about it you'd realize that you don't have control over everything, but you control how you react ~ Charles Benoit
Benoit quotes by Charles Benoit
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. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
I was in an industrial laboratory because academia found me unsuitable. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Humanity has known for a long time what fractals are. It is a very strange situation in which an idea which each time I look at all documents have deeper and deeper roots, never (how to say it), jelled. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
I like to think of myself as the Chris Benoit of the movie industry, capable of taking any picture and carrying it to box-office success. Take Garden State, without me that would have just been two hours of Portman doging. ~ Zach Braff
Benoit quotes by Zach Braff
For instance, suppose you offer somebody a choice: They can flip a coin to win $200 for heads and nothing for tails, or they can skip the toss and collect $100 immediately. Most people, researchers have found, will take the sure thing. Now alter the game: They can flip a coin to lose $200 for heads and nothing for tails, or they can skip the toss and pay $100 immediately. Most people will take the gamble. To the imagined rational man, the two games are mirror images; the choice to gamble or not should be the same in both. But to a real, irrational man, who feels differently about loss than gain, the two games are very different. The outcomes are different, and sublimely irrational. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
I found myself in the position of that child in a story who noticed a bit of string and - out of curiosity - pulled on it to discover that it was just the tip of a very long and increasingly thick string...and kept bringing out wonders beyond reckoning ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
Now, what I'm worried about is how we're going to be dividing the reward money when this is all over. Because this ship is starting to feel awfully crowded and I'm not sure I'm happy with all of you cutting into my profits."
"What reward money?" asked Scarlet.
"The reward Cinder's going to pay us out of the Lunar treasury once she's queen."
Cinder rolled her eyes. "I should have guessed. ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
When the weather changes, nobody believes the laws of physics have changed. Similarly, I don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
It is extraordinary Monsieur Benoit, but everytime I think of your triple character as a landlord, a bootmaker, and a friend, I am tempted to believe in the Trinity. ~ Henri Murger
Benoit quotes by Henri Murger
I claim that many patterns of Nature are so irregular and fragmented, that, compared with Euclid-a term used in this work to denote all of standard geometry-Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity ... The existence of these patterns challenges us to study these forms that Euclid leaves aside as being "formless," to investigate the morphology of the "amorphous." ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Keep varying the program. Your body will tell you what to do. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
The textbooks are dumbed down to the where your kid sister could probably read them, and the teacher go over and over and over the same stuff anyway, drilling it into your head so that they can ask you one hundred multiple-choice questions to get it all back out of you again. ~ Charles Benoit
Benoit quotes by Charles Benoit
Both chaos theory and fractal have had contacts in the past when they are both impossible to develop and in a certain sense not ready to be developed. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Years ago, women sat in the kitchen drinking coffee and discussing life. Now they discuss the same topics while they run. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
IF ANYONE EVER TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE ANYTHING LESS THAN WONDERFUL...THEY LIED. THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT AT SOME TIME IN THE PAST, YOU SWALLOWED AND BELIEVED THOSE LIES AND YOU ARE NOW LIVING THEM OUT IN THE FORM OF YOUR CURRENT PROBLEMS. ~ Luke Benoit
Benoit quotes by Luke Benoit
If one takes the kinds of risks which I took, which are colossal, but taking risks, I was rewarded by being able to contribute in a very substantial fashion to a variety of fields. I was able to reawaken and solve some very old problems. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
For a complex natural shape, dimension is relative. It varies with the observer. The same object can have more than one dimension, depending on how you measure it and what you want to do with it. And dimension need not be a whole number; it can be fractional. Now an ancient concept, dimension, becomes thoroughly modern. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
She was tired of everyone deciding her life for her. She was ready to figure out who she really was--not what anyone else told her to be. ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
I look at victory as milestones on a very long highway. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
The techniques I developed for studying turbulence, like weather, also apply to the stock market. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
In science, all important ideas need names and stories to fix them in the memory. It occurred to me that the market's first wild trait, abrupt change or discontinuity, is prefigured in the Bible tale of Noah. As Genesis relates, in Noah's six hundredth year God ordered the Great Flood to purify a wicked world. Then "were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Noah survived, of course: He prepared against the coming flood by building a ship strong enough to withstand it. The flood came and went-catastrophic, but transient. Market crashes are like that. The 29.2 percent collapse of October 19, 1987, arrived without warning or convincing reason; and at the time, it seemed like the end of the financial world. Smaller squalls strike more often, with more localized effect. In fact, a hierarchy of turbulence, a pattern that scales up and down with time, governs this bad financial weather. At times, even a great bank or brokerage house can seem like a little boat in a big storm. ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
And Chris Benoit, as magnificent as he looks, is not medically cleared yet. ~ Ric Flair
Benoit quotes by Ric Flair
Doing something for yourself like running, and using it to test yourself, will only make you feel better about your career or your family role. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
Confidence is a belief in myself and my ability. I built my confidence through hard training. I believed there was no one out there working any harder than me. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
There is a rich vein of jokes about economists and their assumptions. Take the old one about the engineer, the physicist, and the economist. They find themselves shipwrecked on a desert island with nothing to eat but a sealed can of beans. How to get at them? The engineer proposes breaking the can open with a rock. The physicist suggests heating the can in the sun, until it bursts. The economist's approach: "First, assume we have a can opener.... ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
Until a few years ago, the topics in my Ph.D. were unfashionable, but they are very popular today. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
There's not a better feeling than when you have found that moment of balance and harmony when both running and life come together. Then you know why you run and that you couldn't live without it. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
I don't seek power and do not run around. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
The job of a writer is not to convey emotion but to invoke it. ~ Eric T. Benoit
Benoit quotes by Eric T. Benoit
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
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in inventing something. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
The straight line has a property of self-similarity. Each piece of the straight line is the same as the whole line when used to a big or small extent. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Where did this guy come from? It's like he's saying exactly what my heart needs to hear. ~ J.E. Benoit
Benoit quotes by J.E. Benoit
Being a language, mathematics may be used not only to inform but also, among other things, to seduce. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
The rule is any decent-looking girl asks to share your drink or have a lick of your ice cream or take a bite of a sandwich, you say yes. It's gross if you think about it, especially like now, Kristi's lips all covered with Ryan's spit, but there are some rules even you wouldn't break. ~ Charles Benoit
Benoit quotes by Charles Benoit
As Hubert Benoit said, it is not the identification with the ego that is the problem, but the exclusive nature of the identification. When our self-identity expands beyond the ego, into the deeper psychic, then even into the Unborn and One Taste, the ego is simply taken up and subsumed in a grander identity. But the ego itself remains as the functional self in the gross realm, and it might even appropriately be intensified and made more powerful, simply because it is now plugged into the entire Kosmos. ~ Ken Wilber
Benoit quotes by Ken Wilber
I've missed that mouth of yours. ~ Em Wolf
Benoit quotes by Em Wolf
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 ... Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
If you look at coastlines, if you look at that them from far away, from an airplane, well, you don't see details, you see a certain complication. When you come closer, the complication becomes more local, but again continues. And come closer and closer and closer, the coastline becomes longer and longer and longer because it has more detail entering in. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
I spent my time very nicely in many ways, but not fully satisfactory. Then I became Professor in France, but realized that I was not - for the job that I should spend my life in. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
You are the capital U in Unhelpful. ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
The worst that could happen is you two get into a fist fight, in which I will referee but secretly be in your corner.
Oh really?
Really. I'll even rub Vaseline on your face when he isn't looking.
What would I do without you?
You'll never know. ~ Em Wolf
Benoit quotes by Em Wolf
(Wolf) shrugged, without a hint of self-pity. "I don't know what they can or can't grow in the agriculture sectors. Whatever it is, I'm sure it can't compete with Benoit Farms and Gardens." His eyes twinkled, and Scarlet - to her own surprise - started to blush again.
"You two are giving me a stomachache," Thorne griped.
"I'm pretty sure that's the meat," said Cinder, ripping a piece of dried mystery meat with her teeth. ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
Regular geometry, the geometry of Euclid, is concerned with shapes which are smooth, except perhaps for corners and lines, special lines which are singularities, but some shapes in nature are so complicated that they are equally complicated at the big scale and come closer and closer and they don't become any less complicated. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
There is a joke that your hammer will always find nails to hit. I find that perfectly acceptable. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
I went to the computer and tried to experiment. I introduced a very high level of experiment in very pure mathematics. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Love yourself, for who and what you are; protect your dream and develop your talent to the fullest extent. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
Everybody in mathematics had given up for 100 years or 200 years the idea that you could from pictures, from looking at pictures, find new ideas. That was the case long ago in the Middle Ages, in the Renaissance, in later periods, but then mathematicians had become very abstract. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
If your business does not perform offline, it won't perform online. ~ Benoit Gaillard
Benoit quotes by Benoit Gaillard
I, Scarlet Benoit, do hereby claim you, Ze'ev Kesley, as my husband and my Alpha. Forevermore, you will be my mate, my star, my beginning of everything. You are the one. You have always been, and you will always be, the only one. Wolf ~ Marissa Meyer
Benoit quotes by Marissa Meyer
It's funny. I'm attracted to things that don't have any impact on life. People say I've done a great thing for women. I don't think I have. People say I've given people courage. That makes me feel good, but I don't see how I do that. I think my running is a selfish thing. But it provides the challenge that allows me to feel good about myself. How can I expect to do well in other activities if I don't feel good about myself? ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
A formula can be very simple, and create a universe of bottomless complexity. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
(Since algebra derives from the Arabic jabara = to bind together, fractal and algebra are etymological opposites!) ~ Benoit B Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit B Mandelbrot
Adonis watched her strut away, friend in tow, like a peacock with a stick wedged up its ass. Tessandra Scarlatti. He'd hoped in his absence, she'd fallen off the planet or died. Preferably both. ~ Em Wolf
Benoit quotes by Em Wolf
Science would be ruined if (like sports) it were to put competition above everything else, and if it were to clarify the rules of competition by withdrawing entirely into narrowly defined specialties. The rare scholars who are nomads-by-choice are essential to the intellectual welfare of the settled disciplines. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Running is 80 percent mental. ~ Joan Benoit
Benoit quotes by Joan Benoit
I spent half my life, roughly speaking, doing the study of nature in many aspects and half of my life studying completely artificial shapes. And the two are extraordinarily close; in one way both are fractal. ~ Benoit Mandelbrot
Benoit quotes by Benoit Mandelbrot
Here are the Top Ten things that your parents say to you:
-Is that all you're going to do all day, sit in front of the computer?
-When I was your age I had two jobs.
-Why don't you wear some clothes that fir for a change?
-Turn it down. I can hear it all the way over here.
-You're not eating that for dinner.
-Did you do your homework?
-Stop mumbling and speak up.
-Now what did you do?
-Because I said so.
-No. ~ Charles Benoit
