Fano varieties are quite rare, compared to other families, like Calabi–Yau manifolds and general type surfaces.

Famous quotes containing the word variety:
“Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”
—David Lodge (b. 1935)
