“While fractal geometry is often used in high-tech science, its patterns are surprisingly common in traditional African designs.”

“Fractal geometry is everywhere, even in lines drawn in the sand. It's the cycle of life... You see fractals in plants, in flowers. Within the human lung are branches within branches.”

“I just toured around looking for fractals, and when I found something that had a scaling geometry, I would ask the folks what was going on - why they had made it that way.”

“The United States has been fighting African pirates since the early days of the republic - battles so formative that, among other things, they established a long-standing pattern of dealing with foreign policy problems through armed interventions and also inspired the iconic phrase 'the shores of Tripoli' in the Marine Corps hymn.”

“It's obvious that the rest of the world loves high African culture - African culture, period.”

“The African prisoners are orderly and peaceable among themselves.”
