R. Buckminster Fuller
Ninety-nine percent of humanity does not know that we have the option to make it economically on this planet and in the Universe. We do.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
Truth is cosmically total: synergetic. Verities are generalized principles stated in semimetaphorical terms. Verities are differentiable. But love is omniembracing, omnicoherent, and omni-inclusive, with no exceptions. Love, like synergetics, is nondifferentiable, i.e., is integral.
R. Buckminster Fuller
How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
The impossible happens.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Pollution is merely a resource that isn't being used properly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is only one revolution tolerable to all men, all societies, all political systems: Revolution by design and invention.
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
