“As the Wheel of Time turns, places wear many names. Men wear many names, many faces. Different faces, but always the same man. Yet no one knows the Great Pattern the Wheel weaves, or even the Pattern of an Age. We can only watch, and study, and hope.” KnowsMenDifferentAgeFacesTurnsNamesWatchesStudyPatternsWheelsWheel Of TimeMany FacesDifferent Faces Book:The Eye of the World: Book One of 'The Wheel of Time' Source: The Eye of the World: Book One of 'The Wheel of Time'
“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."” DifferentFormScienceUsedTermChallengesLevelsExistenceStudyHigherDegreesStandardsClaimsPatternsComplexityGeometryExhibitsDifferent LevelsFragmentedEuclidMorphology Author:Benoit Mandelbrot

“The world is colors and motion, feelings and thoughts and what does math have to do with it? Not much, if 'math' means being bored in high school, but in truth mathematics is the one universal science.

“Sandy was particularly destructive because it was prevented from moving back out to sea by a "blocking pattern" associated with the jet stream. There's debate about this, but one recent study suggested that melting sea ice in the Arctic may lead to such blocking.” MayMovingStudySeaClimate ChangePatternsDebateBlockIceStreamsDestructiveJetMeltingArcticSandyMoving Back Author:Nicholas D.

“According to a recent study, depression is described as being the disease most destructive to humankind, largely because of the devastation it wreaks on our lives.... Yes, we could set up our minds to ignore our feelings and barricade ourselves from the winds and dust of the brain pattern. And we could become like robots, refusing to consider the passion and joys that could be ours. But then, we also might as well be dead.” MindWellsFeelingsMightJoyPassionBrainStudyOur LivesWindDiseasePatternsDustDestructiveHumankindRobotsDevastationBarricades Author:G. Frank Lawlis

“Very sacred is the vocation of the artist, who has to do directly with the works of God, and interpret the teaching of creation to mankind.
