More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
People never leave a sinking ship until they see the lights of another ship approaching.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything we see is inside our own heads.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We were deliberately designed to learn only by trial and error. We're brought up, unfortunately, to think that nobody should make mistakes. Most children get de-geniused by the love and fear of their parents - that they might make a mistake. But all my advances were made by mistakes. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Pollution is merely a resource that isn't being used properly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem.
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

The discovered reality made the scientists exploratory work seem relatively disorderly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Life is the spirit incarnate in time.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
There is something patently insane about all the typewriters sleeping with all the beautiful plumbing in the beautiful office buildings -and all the people sleeping in the slums.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Perception is one millionth of one percent reality (truth in fact).
R. Buckminster Fuller
For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known. Only ten years ago the 'more with less' technology reached the point where this could be done. All humanity now has the option to become enduringly successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
What usually happens in the educational process is that the faculties are dulled, overloaded, stuffed and paralyzed so that by the time most people are mature they have lost their innate capabilities.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
For at least 2,000,000 years men have been reproducing and multiplying on a little automated spaceship called earth.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I've invented.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Most of my advances were by mistake. You uncover what is when you get rid of what isn't.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Education by choice, with its marvelous motivating psychology of desire for truth, will make life ever cleaner and happier, more rhythmical and artistic.
R. Buckminster Fuller
