R. Buckminster FullerAll children are born geniuses; 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently degeniusized by grownups.
R. Buckminster FullerThe most important part about tomorrow is not the technology or the automation, but that man is going to come into entirely new relationships with his fellow men.

R. Buckminster FullerI find man utterly unaware of what his wealth is or his fundamental capability is. He says time and again, "We can't afford it."
