More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
I look for what needs to be done
R. Buckminster Fuller
What the scientists have always found by physical experiment was an a priori orderliness of nature, or Universe always operating at an elegance level that made the discovering scientist's working hypotheses seem crude by comparison. The discovered reality made the scientists exploratory work seem relatively disorderly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Whether humanity is to comprehensively prosper...depends entirely on the integrity of the human individuals and not on the political and economic systems. The cosmic question has been asked: are humans worthwhile to universe invention?
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our beds are empty two-thirds of the time. Our living rooms are empty seven-eighths of the time. Our office buildings are empty one-half of the time. It's time we gave this some thought.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You take the senses away, and there is no consciousness. Consciousness comes from experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
By the time you are 88 years old, you have consumed 300 tons of food, air and water.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. Buckminster Fuller
None of the world's problems will have a solution until the world's individuals become thoroughly self-educated.
R. Buckminster Fuller
That which is communicated, i.e., understood, is metaphysical. The means of communication is physical.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can't change the way people think, all you can do is give them a tool, the use of which will change their thinking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Right now I am a passenger on space vehicle Earth zooming about the Sun at 60,000 miles per hour somewhere in the solar system.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Humanity is now experiencing history's most difficult evolutionary transformation.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God is the great comprehensive a priori integrity of Universe within which human beings find themselves to be operating.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Of course, our failures are a consequence of many factors, but possibly one of the most important is the fact that society operates on the theory that specialization is the key to success, not realizing that specialization precludes comprehensive thinking.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Conceptuality is subjective realization is objective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.
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
