Lighning Quotes (1)
Why is geometry often described as 'cold' and 'dry?' One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, coastline, or a tree. Clouds are not spheres; mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line.
