  • Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It's simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain. -- Tom DeLonge
  • My work is always very geometric. -- Bibhu Mohapatra
  • The effectiveness of work increases according to geometric progression if there are no interruptions. -- Andre Maurois
  • My forms are geometric, but they don't interact in a geometric sense. They're just forms that exist everywhere, even if you don't see them. -- Ellsworth Kelly
  • The issues are by some geometric number - 100 or 200 or 500 - times more complicated today than we appreciated them to be when Franklin Roosevelt was around. -- Gaylord Nelson
  • We have a company, Geometric Software, which is into engineering services software. We have a company called Nature's Basket, which is into gourmet retailing. Both are specialized companies. -- Adi Godrej
  • I had, over the years, collected things, small things, as people do, and I had put them all together and showed them in what became a building in the form of the Geometric Mouse. -- Claes Oldenburg
  • Geometric calculus consists in a system of operations analogous to those of algebraic calculus, but in which the entities on which the calculations are carried out, instead of being numbers, are geometric entities which we shall define. -- Giuseppe Peano
  • The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone. -- Robert Rauschenberg
  • Viewed as a geometric figure, the ant's path is irregular, complex, and hard to describe. -- Herbert A. Simon
  • They certainly aren't connected with the old geometric art. My work isn't geometric in that sense. -- Donald Judd
  • I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity. -- Antony Garrett Lisi
  • Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form -- Anish Kapoor
  • Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form. -- Anish Kapoor
  • All my work comes from perceiving. I kept seeing things that were brooding in me. I'm not a geometric artist. -- Ellsworth Kelly
  • In 1929 the discovery of the wonders of the geometric series struck Wall Street with a force comparable to the invention of the wheel. -- John Kenneth Galbraith
  • I believe the geometric proportion served the creator as an idea when He introduced the continuous generation of similar objects from similar objects. -- Johannes Kepler
  • Some songs seem to achieve the quality of a geometric object - a ball, box, or cone - and I don't mess with 'em. -- Peter Blegvad
  • There is no end to the beauty for the person who is aware. Even the cracks between the sidewalk contain geometric patterns of amazing beauty. -- Matthew Fox
  • I do not believe you can have infinite population or economic growth in a finite world. We are living on the shoulders of some awesome geometric curves. -- Richard Lamm
  • For nine years I worked to change what was hairdressing then into a geometric art form with color, perm without setting which had never been done before. -- Vidal Sassoon
  • In Degas's compositions with several dancers, their steps, postures and gestures often resemble the almost geometric, formal letters of an alphabet, whereas their bodies and heads are recalcitrant, sinuous and individual. -- John Berger
  • The design is a really flat primary color with all sorts of abstract geometric shapes, just implying something. And then you'd have your characters running from something with guns. It was very expressionistic. -- Don Hertzfeldt
  • I don't think geometric art is... I don't like to call it that. I don't think it's any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn't have anything to do with purity. -- Donald Judd
  • A game of chess is a visual and plastic thing, and if it isn't geometric in the static sense of the word, it is mechanical, since it moves. It's a drawing; it's a mechanical reality. -- Marcel Duchamp
  • New York... is a city of geometric heights, a petrified desert of grids and lattices, an inferno of greenish abstraction under a flat sky, a real Metropolis from which man is absent by his very accumulation. -- Roland Barthes
  • ...all man's desired geometric progressions, if a high rate of growth is chosen, at last come to grief on a finite earth. And the social system for man on earth is fair enough, eventually, that almost all massive cheating ends in disgrace. -- Charlie Munger
  • There is a deep connection between Bernoulli's dictum and John Kelly's 1956 publication. It turns out that Kelly's prescription can be restated as this simple rule: When faced with a choice of wagers or investments, choose the one with the highest geometric means of outcomes. -- William Poundstone
  • About Archimedes one remembers that he did strange things: he ran around naked shouting Heureka!, plunged crowns into water, drew geometric figures as he was about to be killed, and so on. ... One ends up forgetting he was a scientist of whom we still have many writings. -- Lucio Russo
  • I started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry. -- Ron Eglash
  • Whoever thinks algebra is a trick in obtaining unknowns has thought it in vain. No attention should be paid to the fact that algebra and geometry are different in appearance. Algebras (jabbre and maqabeleh) are geometric facts which are proved by propositions five and six of Book two of Elements. -- Omar Khayyam
  • I'd paint long strips of canvas and abandon them on the beach, or put bread out in geometric patterns for the pigeons downtown. I wanted people to find something nice and intriguing to puzzle over. Then I'd go back to see if the things were still there, or if anyone would notice. -- Jenny Holzer
  • Truly, learning appears to be a reverse geometric progression with experiences at one hour, one day, one month or one year dramatically more influential and formative than later experiences. As has often been quoted, 85% of brain development takes place by age 3, and yet we spend only 4% of our educational dollars by that point. -- George Kaiser
  • Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own Earth. It is at least the geometric pattern of things, of life, of the human and social world. It is at best that magic framework of reality that we sometimes touch upon when we use the word order. -- Frank Lloyd Wright
  • I need geometry to set the grammar of the image expressive language . The structural skeleton, the composition and the geometric layout provide a perspective from which one can read the image; otherwise we would do what Dadaists did when they put words in a little bag and then took them out at random in order to compose a poem. -- Augusto De Luca
  • We all share beauty. It strikes us indiscriminately. There is no end to the beauty for the person who is aware. Even the cracks between the sidewalk contain geometric patterns of amazing beauty. If we take pictures of them and blow up the photographs, we realize we walk on beauty every day, even when things seem ugly around us. -- Matthew Fox
  • Algebras are geometric facts which are proved. -- Omar Khayyam
  • I try to visualize geometric shapes and patterns slowly spinning and expanding into infinity. -- Martina McBride
  • She is angle. I am curve. Together, we are geometric sculpture, and we make perfect sense. -- Ellen Hopkins
  • But who shall parcel out His intellect by geometric rules, Split like a province into round and square? -- William Wordsworth
  • Now ... the basic principle of modern mathematics is to achieve a complete fusion [of] 'geometric' and 'analytic' ideas. -- Jean Dieudonne
  • Modern man lives more and more in a preponderantly geometric order. All human creation mechanical or industrial is dependent upon geometric intentions. -- Fernand Leger
  • As you know, Bergson pointed out that there is no such thing as disorder but rather two sorts of order, geometric and living. -- Jean Piaget
  • It snowed right before Jack stopped talking to Hazel, fluffy white flakes big enough to show their crystal architecture, like perfect geometric poems. -- Anne Ursu
  • In geometric and physical applications, it always turns out that a quantity is characterized not only by its tensor order, but also by symmetry. -- Hermann Weyl
  • ...the feeling of mathematical beauty, of the harmony of numbers and of forms, of geometric elegance. It is a genuinely aesthetic feeling, which all mathematicians know -- Henri Poincare
  • In many cases a dull proof can be supplemented by a geometric analogue so simple and beautiful that the truth of a theorem is almost seen at a glance. -- Martin Gardner
  • I don't see how it's doing society any good to have so many members walking around with vague memories of algebraic formulas and geometric diagrams and clear memories of hating them. -- Paul Lockhart
  • Antarctic symphony has a geometric relationship to the landscape. It's saying that this landscape and the minimal kind of, you know I'm talking like seeing ice, is visually kind of eerily minimal. -- DJ Spooky
  • I use geometric and mathematical ideas to organize material, but those are tools. The purpose of the work is not to expose that at all, but to arrive at some kind of expressiveness. -- Lucinda Childs
