Wikiquote:Quote of the day/November 20, 2010

From Wikiquote
 

An extraordinary amount of arrogance is present in any claim of having been the first in "inventing" something. It's an arrogance that some enjoy, and others do not. Now I reach beyond arrogance when I proclaim that fractals had been pictured forever but their true role remained unrecognized and waited for me to be uncovered.

~ Benoît Mandelbrot ~
