For when I fasten on a man, nothing can induce me to release my hold: and I am left to myself, which is all the better.
Уж если я за кого ухвачусь, то держу мертвой хваткой; в таких случаях даже лучше, чтобы все от меня отвернулись.

But they all understood that this openness and freedom were only apparent – he knew better than any of them what could, and what could not, be talked about.
Но все понимали, что простота и свобода, с которой он говорил, были лишь кажущиеся, – он, как никто, знал, о чем можно, а о чем нельзя говорить.

Although the term fractal is defined in Chapter 3, I continue to believe that one would do better without a definition (my 1975 Essay included none).
Хотя в главе 3 мы и определили термин фрактал, я все же продолжаю считать, что наша тема представляет собой как раз такой случай, когда лучше всего обойтись совсем без определения (в эссе 1975 г., кстати, никакого определения не было).
