Aesthetic Quote by Robert L. Devaney

Aspiring to these wide generalizations, the analysis of quadratic functions soars to a pitch from whence it may look proudly down on the feeble…

— James Joseph Sylvester

I'm no mathematician, so I'm stuck with the graphic representations.

— Hugh Hopper

The Mandelbrot set is the most complex mathematical object known to mankind.

— Benoit Mandelbrot

The most complex object in mathematics, the Mandelbrot Set ... is so complex as to be uncontrollable by mankind and describable as 'chaos'.

— Benoit Mandelbrot

This simple idea served to provide information on the geometrical shape of reacting molecules, and I was able to make the role of the…

At the earliest drawings of the fractal curve, few clues to the underlying mathematical structure will be seen.

— Louis L'Amour

An exquisitely complex shape now known as the Mandlebrot set has been called the most complex object in mathematics.

— Benoit Mandelbrot

A figure with curves always offers a lot of interesting angles.

— Wesley Ruggles

When we talk about the impact inside mathematics, and applications in the sciences, [Mandelbrot] is one of the most important figures of the last…

They certainly aren't connected with the old geometric art. My work isn't geometric in that sense.

— Donald Judd

A very faithful drawing may actually tell us more about the model but despite the promptings of our critical intelligence it will never have…

— Andre Bazin

The simple equations that generate the convoluted Mandelbrot fractal have been called the wittiest remarks ever made.
