Everything we see is inside our own heads.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Conceptuality is subjective realization is objective.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A proverb is much matter distilled into few words.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The wave is not the water. The water merely told us about the wave moving by.
R. Buckminster Fuller

R. Buckminster Fuller
You can't change the way people think, all you can do is give them a tool, the use of which will change their thinking.
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
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
Physics has found no straight lines. Instead, the physical universe consists of only waves undulating back and forth allowing for corrections and balance.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The difference between mind and brain is that brain deals only with memorized, subjective, special-case experiences and objective experiments, while mind extracts and employs the generalized principles and integrates and interrelates their effective employment.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Only the free-wheeling artist-explorer, non-academic, scientist-philosopher, mechanic, economist-poet who has never waited for patron-starting and accrediting of his co-ordinate capabilities holds the prime initiative today.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Relativity is inherently convergent, though convergent toward a plurality of centers of abstract truths.
R. Buckminster Fuller
How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.
R. Buckminster Fuller
[My vision is] To make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.
R. Buckminster Fuller
I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Are you spontaneously enthusiastic about everyone having everything you can have?
R. Buckminster Fuller
Unity is plural and, at a minimum, is two.
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
We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.
R. Buckminster Fuller
