More quotes by R. Buckminster Fuller
Relativity is inherently convergent, though convergent toward a plurality of centers of abstract truths.
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
You can never learn less you can only learn more.
R. Buckminster Fuller
You can't change anything by fighting or resisting it. You change something by making it obsolete through superior methods.
R. Buckminster Fuller
If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everything we see is inside our own heads.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Our beds are empty two-thirds of the time. Our living rooms are empty seven-eighths of the time. Our office buildings are empty one-half of the time. It's time we gave this some thought.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Geniuses are just people who had good mothers.
R. Buckminster Fuller
There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine.
R. Buckminster Fuller
A new, self-employed architect scientist is the one in all the world who may accelerate realization of a high-standard survival for all, as now completely practical within the scope of available technology.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Everyone has the perfect gift to give the world-and if each of us is freed up to give our unique gift, the world will be in total harmony.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Either war is obsolete, or men are.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living.
R. Buckminster Fuller
One can study a caterpillar forever and never be able to predict a butterfly.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Tombs are the clothes of the dead and a grave is a plain suit while an expensive monument is one with embroidery.
R. Buckminster Fuller
The pyramids, attached with age, have forgotten the names of their founders.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Man is going to be displaced altogether as a specialist by the computer. Man himself is being forced to reestablish, employ, and enjoy his innate 'comprehensivity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
It is essential that anyone reading this book know at the outset that the author is apolitical. I was convinced in 1927 that humanity's most fundamental survival problems could never be solved by politics.
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
Integrity is the essence of everything successful.
R. Buckminster Fuller
