R. Buckminster Fuller

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
The end move in politics is always to pick up a gun.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Television is the third parent.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Tension is the great integrity.
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
