More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
The pyramids, attached with age, have forgotten the names of their founders.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You take the senses away, and there is no consciousness. Consciousness comes from experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process – an integral function of the universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Relativity is inherently convergent, though convergent toward a plurality of centers of abstract truths.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What humans have spontaneously identified as good and bad - or as positive and negative - are evolutionary complementations in need of more accurate identifications.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.
R. Buckminster Fuller
War is the ultimate tool of politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Dear reader, traditional human power structures and their reign of darkness are about to be rendered obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Either war is obsolete, or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is essential that anyone reading this book know at the outset that the author is apolitical. I was convinced in 1927 that humanity's most fundamental survival problems could never be solved by politics.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What has not been clear is that the potential of this emergency-born technology has always accrued to human's prewar individual initiatives taken in a humble but irrepressible progression of assumptions, measurements, deductions, and codifications of pure science.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Perception is one millionth of one percent reality (truth in fact).
R. Buckminster Fuller
Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We will always have war until there is enough of every essential to support all lives everywhere around earth.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Tombs are the clothes of the dead and a grave is a plain suit while an expensive monument is one with embroidery.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Pollution is merely a resource that isn't being used properly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
R. Buckminster Fuller
