Fibonacci:

Mathematics is beautiful because it is woven in the fabric of our jagged reality.

Mathematics is beautiful because its patterns of perfection embraces all it's coefficients of imperfection and ugliness.

Mathematicians really become stupid when they look at perfection exclusively with the eyes of their minds.

Perfection is right in the immediacy of reality, piercing through the retina and the mind.

Nature plays tricks at us. One of her tricks is to give us easy visual representation of her Golden Ratio.

A sunflower, a snail, a galaxy, a human face. It all looks so beautiful. Perfection, however, would have never been so if it didn't self contain clutter.

Nature lends herself to artifice, to shallowness, to beautiful phoniness.

Golden ratios are truly everywhere in nature, not just in artificial ways, but rather unready for our retina to appreciate.

Although, nature unclutters itself through a sunflower, a symmetry face, a galaxy, we also unclutter nature through music, words, artwork and a blissful experience.

It is in the dance with clutter that Nature and us acquire a true life of symmetry worth dying for.

Ulysses Alvarez Laviada
