"In fact we say that an intention is good, that is, right in itself, but that an action does not bear any good in itself but proceeds from a good intention.

Chaos and fractals are not even twentieth century ideas: chaos was first observed by Poincare and fractals were familiar to Cantor a century ago, although neither man had the computer at his disposal to show the rest of the world the beauty he was seeing.”
