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
The purpose of our lives is to add value to the people of this generation and those that follow.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.
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
That which is communicated, i.e., understood, is metaphysical. The means of communication is physical.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
To ask a politician to lead us is to ask the tail of a dog to lead the dog.
R. Buckminster Fuller
