R. Buckminster Fuller
There is room enough indoors in New York City for the whole 1963 world's population to enter, with room enough inside for all hands to dance the twist in average nightclub proximity.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Consisting mostly of recirculating scrapped metals, 80% of all the metals that have ever been mined are still at work.
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
Technology paces industry, but there's a long lag in the process.
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
God is the great comprehensive a priori integrity of Universe within which human beings find themselves to be operating.
