- 31. Benoît Mandelbrot: There was a long hiatus of a hundred years where drawing did not play any role in mathematics because hand and pencil and ruler were exhausted. They were well understood and no longer in the forefront. And the computer did not exist.
- 32. Benoît Mandelbrot: When I came in this game, there was a total absence of intuition. One had to create an intuition from scratch. Intuition as it was trained by the usual tools—the hand, the pencil, and the ruler—found these shapes quite monstrous and pathological. The old intuition was misleading.
- 33. Benoît Mandelbrot: Intuition is not something that is given. I've trained my intuition to accept as obvious shapes which were initially rejected as absurd, and I find everyone else can do the same.

- Policeman: “Oh, why do I always get hooked up with these spook details? Monsters, graves, bodies …” Wood: “Cue flying saucer!” Wood: “And cut! Print! We’re moving on! That was perfect!” Producer: “Perfect? Mr. Wood, do you know anything about the art of film production?” Wood: “Well, I like to think so.” Producer: “That cardboard headstone tipped over. This graveyard is obviously phony.” Wood: “Nobody will ever notice that! Filmmaking is not about the tiny details, it’s about the big picture!”
- David Lean: “I just love making movies. I have a sort of burst of adrenaline when I get behind a camera. I just love them. I like lenses. I like looking through the camera. I like composing pictures.”
