R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller

It is the consensus of great scientists that science is the attempt to set in order the facts of experience.
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
One can study a caterpillar forever and never be able to predict a butterfly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Don't fight forces, use them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You either make sense or you make money.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Humanity is now experiencing history's most difficult evolutionary transformation.
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
By the time you are 88 years old, you have consumed 300 tons of food, air and water.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Seeing-is-believing is a blind spot in man's vision.
