R. Buckminster Fuller quotes about
brain special cases
Our brains deal exclusively with special-case experiences.
order important special
The eternal is omniembracing and permeative; and the temporal is linear. This opens up a very high order of generalizations of generalizations. The truth could not be more omni-important, although it is often manifestly operative only as a linear identification of a special-case experience on a specialized subject.
mean special covering
The word generalization in literature usually means covering too much territory too thinly to be persuasive, let alone convincing. In science, however, a generalization means a principle that has been found to hold true in every special case.... The principle of leverage is a scientific generalization.
giving mind special
Only our minds are able to discover the generalized principles operating without exception in each and every special-experience case which if detected and mastered will give knowledgeable advantage in all instances.
integrity special may
[A]ll the categories of creatures act individually as special-case and may be linearly analyzed; retrospectively, it is discoverable that inadvertently they are all interaffecting one another synergetically as a spherical, interprecessionally regenerative, tensegrity spherical integrity. Geodesic spheres demonstrate the compressionally discontinuous--tensionally continuous integrity. Ecology is tensegrity geodesic spherical programming.
thinking trying special
I'm not trying to counsel any of you to do anything really special except dare to think. And to dare to go with the truth. And to dare to really love completely.
integrity differences humanity
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.
peace war fighting
War is obsolete. We are not here to fight something or tear something down; We are here to be the example of what is possible. Any sane individual will tell you that violence is ... not the way...
christian god noun proper
God is a verb, not a noun proper or improper.
american-inventor proper purpose verb
Here is God's purpose -- for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
integrity fate humanity
On personal integrity hangs humanity's fate
money making-money make-sense
You either make sense or you make money.
inexplicable obvious mystical
The explicable requires the inexplicable. Experience requires the nonexperienceable. The obvious requires the mystical.
integrity independent patterns
A pattern has an integrity independent of the medium by virtue of which you have received the information that it exists.
