More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Humanity is now experiencing history's most difficult evolutionary transformation.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Ignorance and greed are part of the evolutionary process, which is just to say that mistakes are part of learning. There is nothing bad about behaviors or perceptions that do not work they simply have to be given up and replaced by behaviors or perceptions that do work.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Controlled time is our true wealth.
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
If we design the environment properly It will permit both child and adult to develop safely And to behave logically.
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
None of the world's problems will have a solution until the world's individuals become thoroughly self-educated.
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
...primarily the individual is going to study at home.
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
The dark ages still reign over all humanity, and the depth and persistence of this domination are only now becoming clear. This Dark Ages prison has no steel bars, chains, or locks. Instead, it is locked by misorientation and built of misinformation.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Television is the third parent.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything you've learned in school as obvious becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't fight forces, use them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Wealth is a measure of a person's ability to survive so many days forward.
R. Buckminster Fuller
By the time you are 88 years old, you have consumed 300 tons of food, air and water.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There are no solids. There are no things. There are only interfering and non-interfering patterns operative in pure principle, and principles are eternal.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences.
R. Buckminster Fuller
