"Writers have two main problems. One is writer's block, when the words won't come at all and the other is logorrhea, when the words come so fast that they can hardly get to the wastebasket in time."

"The spread of veins on the backs of our hands mirrors the spread of branches on a tree, fern fronds bear a resemblance to the outlines of fjords, the best-loved classical music echoes the patterns of our heartbeats." The theory of Chaos uses fractal patterns to explain much of the world around us. Could it be that the same laws that govern systems in their critical states also govern some of the most unpredictable events, such as earthquakes, avalanches, the growth of cities, and stock market crashes - even the way businesses are run and the way fashions come and go? Is there a common principle, a universal affinity that binds us to the forces of nature?
