Order is repetition of units. Chaos is multiplicity without rhythm.
M. C. Escher
For me it remains an open question whether [this work] pertains to the realm of mathematics or to that of art.
M. C. Escher
I might be in the basement. I'll go upstairs and check. We adore chaos because we love to produce order. I don't use drugs my dreams are frightening enough.
