The more we learn the more we realize how little we know.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Thou mayest as well expect to grow stronger by always eating as wiser by always reading. Too much overcharges Nature, and turns more into disease than nourishment. 'Tis thought and digestion which makes books serviceable, and give health and vigor to the mind.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything we see is inside our own heads.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The impossible happens.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Some of us are just less damaged than others.
