Richard Buckminster Fuller (/ˈfʊlər/; July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983)was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, and futurist.

In this page I placed Bucky’s undated motto at top, further verified quotes including the 2 that were already there in chronological order, followed with an extensive number of quotes from some of Bucky’s major works below them also in chronological order, and then finally a few unverified quotes I had collected that I do not immediately know the source of, but which seem authentic. —Kalki 2003·08·19 23:59Why are some parts of some quotes in bold? Is that they way they are in the book, or has the emphasis been added to make those parts of the quotes stand out from the rest? If so, I think we need to discuss whether this is good practice generally or whether we should discourage it and let readers make up their own minds about which parts are somehow more important than others.

*All of humanity now has the option to ’make it’ successfully and sustainably, by virtue of our having minds, discovering principles and being able to employ these principles to do more with less.
*If the success or failure of this planet, and of human beings, depended on how I am and what I do, how would I be? What would I do?
*It is not for me to change you. The question is, how can I be of service to you without diminishing your degrees of freedom?
*It is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a ‘higher standard of living than any have ever known.’ It no longer has to be you or me. Selfishness is unnecessary and henceforth unrationalizable as mandated by survival. (from Critical Path, 1981, page xxv)
*People have feet. Trees have roots.
*When asked why so many of his housing designs were portable.
*’Reality’ should always be in quotes.
*There are over 2 million cars standing in front of red lights with their engines going. Then we have over 2 million times approximately 100 horsepower being generated as they are idling there, so that we have something like 200 million horses jumping up and down and going nowhere. Now, we have to count that in our economy when we begin to get down to what is the efficiency of the economy.
*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.
*We are on a spaceship; a beautiful one. It took billions of years to develop. We’re not going to get another. Now, how do we make this spaceship work?
*When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
*You either make sense or you make money.
*You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. I found this quote in: L. Steven Sieden, „A Fuller View - Buckminster Fuller´s Vision of Hope and Abundance for all“, p. 358), Divine Arts Media (2011)
*on first priority / in design consideration / is the full realization / of individual potential / in order to reach the second derivative-- / full realization for all individuals
*Love is omni-inclusive, progressively exquisite, understanding and compassionately attuned to other than self.
*Humanity has the option to become successful on our planet if we reorient world production away from weaponry-- from killingry to livingry. Can we convince humanity in time?
*We are prisoners of our own metaphors, metaphorically speaking.
*Sometimes I think we’re alone. Sometimes I think we’re not. In either case, the thought is staggering.Really nobody knows the source of: ’In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. That, in essence, is the higher service to which we are all being called.’?! --Fixuture (talk) 18:42, 5 June 2015 (UTC)Okay so I traced the quote down (mainly using Google’s custom time-range feature) and I found this: https://books.google.de/books?id=MDC9izjKyUMC - it’s the book Extreme Democracy (by Jon Lebkowsky and Mitch Ratcliffe ) and here’s the free, full version of it: http://extremedemocracy.com/ExtremeDemocracy.pdfOn page 101 it says this:As Buckminster Fuller said: “You never change things by fighting against the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.”78With the 78 footnote being: Fuller, R. Buckminster (St. Martin’s Griffin, 1982).However googling it I find multiple books by Buckminster that were published in 1982 at St. martin Griffin. Does anybody of you know which one is meant or do you have access to one of those books to look it up?--Fixuture (talk) 13:24, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
In his book’Critical Path’ on page 283 I found this: ’What makes obsolete any of the major categories of metals in use is therate at which the new technologies occur that make obsolete the older technologies.’ Hope it helps:’Islands of compression in an ocean of tension’[edit]
There are many variations and uses, some may be mangled. For example ’We (humanity) are islands of compression in an ocean of tension’ seems incorrect, while applied to tensegrity seems more apropiate. ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 18:26, 24 September 2018 (UTC)’Waste materials’[edit]
Years ago I saw a documentary that attributed a quote to Bucky that stuck with me, though I’ve looked several times for it and failed. I don’t know if it was even a real quote by anyone. It went something like, ’Waste materials are simply a resource we haven’t found a use for.’ ~ JasonCarswell (talk) 18:29, 24 September 2018 (UTC)Retrieved from ’https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Buckminster_Fuller&oldid=2750617’
It’s a slim paperback and forgotten by most. But I Seem to be a Verb by R. Buckminster Fuller is a cult book for many reasons, not least because its content appears to resemble what the modern Internet has become. The quotes, the slogans, powerful images packed with meaning, facts designed to influence a reader in a split second, and political sound-bites - they are all there. This book contains elements we consume on a daily basis via Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Twitter, and yet it was written while Richard Nixon was in the White House.
Firstly, who was R. Buckminster Fuller? ’Bucky’ was many things, including author, designer and inventor. The rear cover of Verb explains he’s also an ’engineer, mathematician, architect, philosopher, poet, cosmogonist, choreographer, visionary...’ He coined the phrase ’Spaceship Earth’, invented the geodesic dome, was a president of MENSA and wrote more than 30 books. I Seem to be a Verb was written along with Jerome Angel and Quentin Fiore. The duo also collaborated with Marshall McLuhan on The Medium is the Massage - another example of an experimental publishing from the 1960s.
I Seem to be a Verb, a 192-page paperback, is post-modern. It does not have a beginning or an end. No narrative. It launches into slogans and seemingly unrelated images. The book can be read from the front to the back, or from the back to the front as 50 per cent of the text is printed upside down. Half of the content is black and white, and the rest is green and white. Copies are scarce because it’s a highly sought-after out-of-print book. They usually sell for anywhere from $25 to $125 per copy, and AbeBooks rarely has more than a dozen on the site for sale.
I Seem to be a Verb opens to an eye-catching title page.Words of wisdom found in I Seem to be a Verb:
’I live on Earth at the present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the universe.’
’The most important fact about Spaceship Earth: An instruction book didn’t come with it.’
’We are waking from the American Dream to realize it was a dream few Americans lived in their waking hours.’
’Zambia’s Board of Space Administration reportedly trains its 12-man, one-woman astronaut team by rolling it downhill in 40-gallon oil drums.’
’The Government is spending $450,000,000 a year on public relations alone - to tell us how well off we are.’
’It must be sad to be an Elizabeth Taylor, who hasn’t been to a supermarket for 10 years.’
Meaningful quotes and images reminiscent of Andy Warhol fill the pages.
Nixon and Vietnam War are reoccurring themes throughout the book. Frank Zappa is quoted a couple of times. Arthur C Clarke receives a couple of shout-outs. Police and protests also appear along with puzzling quotes about a changing world under the influence of advertising and a handful of people.
It’s been argued that I Seem to be a Verb is a design book. Not to me, this is a book of pop culture. Fuller would have loved the Internet (he died in 1983) with its speed, accessibility and barrage of imagery and words.More Books by R Buckminster Fuller
