The edge of chaos is where new ideas and innovative genotypes are forever nibbling away at the edges of the status quo, and where even the most entrenched old-guarder has to keep her eyes peeled.James Gleick

The real magic of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.James Gleick
Chaos is about the network of tiny causes leading to great effects, it is about order turning into disorder.James Gleick
Chaos is a state of utter confusion or disorder; a total lack of organization or order.James Gleick
In the natural world, complex dynamics often arise from simple rules.James Gleick
Nature is inherently chaotic. It acts without plans or intentions, and yet it performs beautifully.James Gleick
