R. Buckminster Fuller
Love is metaphysical gravity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
The self-commissioned architect is the obviously exclusive potential - for as at present used, or designed, the world's resources are serving only forty-four per cent of humanity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Initiative can neither be created nor delegated. It can only spring from the self-determining individual, who decides that the wisdom of others is not always better than his own.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
Some of us are just less damaged than others.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
We are prisoners of our own metaphors, metaphorically speaking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I see God in the instruments and the mechanisms that work reliably, more reliably than the limited sensory departments of the human mechanism.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We must start with scientific fundamentals, and that means with the data of experiments and not with assumed axioms predicated only upon the misleading nature of that which only superficially seems to be obvious. It is the consensus of great scientists that science is the attempt to set in order the facts of experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You have to decide whether you want to make money or make sense, because the two are mutually exclusive.
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
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
