R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
If man chooses oblivion, he can go right on leaving his fate to his political leaders. If he chooses Utopia, he must initiate an enormous education program - immediately, if not sooner.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences.
R. Buckminster Fuller
...doing more with less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Windmills installed around the world converting their direct current into alternating current and feeding the electric energy into the world network can harvest the planet Earth's prime daily energy income source-the wind--and adequately supply all the world's energy needs
R. Buckminster Fuller
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented.
R. Buckminster Fuller
