More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
You take the senses away, and there is no consciousness. Consciousness comes from experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We are most probably here for local information-gathering and local-Universe problem-solving in support of the integrity of eternally regenerative Universe.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Gold and silver from the dead turn often into lead.
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
By and large, I seem to have made more mistakes than any others of whom I know, but have learned thereby to make ever swifter acknowledgment of the errors and thereafter immediately set about to deal more effectively with the truths disclosed by the acknowledgment of erroneous assumptions.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All of humanity is in peril of extinction if each one of us does not dare, now and henceforth, always to tell only the truth, and all the truth, and to do so promptly - right now.
R. Buckminster Fuller
All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
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
Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Pollution is nothing but resources we're not harvesting.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Either war is obsolete, or men are.
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
You either make sense or you make money.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It seemed that the time would come evolutionarily when humans might have acquired enough knowledge of generalized principles to permit a graduation from class-two (entropically selfish) evolution into class-one (syntropically cooperative) evolution, thereafter making all the right moves for all the right reasons.
R. Buckminster Fuller
... reform the environment and not man being absolutely confident that if you give man the right environment, he will behave favorably.
R. Buckminster Fuller
People never leave a sinking ship until they see the lights of another ship approaching.
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
A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can't better the world by simply talking to it. Philosophy to be effective must be mechanically applied.
R. Buckminster Fuller
