“The techniques I developed for studying turbulence, like weather, also apply to the stock market.”

“A cloud is made of billows upon billows upon billows that look like clouds. As you come closer to a cloud you don't get something smooth, but irregularities at a smaller scale.”

“My fate has been that what I undertook was fully understood only after the fact.”

“I don't seek power and do not run around.”

“Order doesn't come by itself.”
