"What can a little man effect towards such realizations in the face of the formidable power of great corporations, great states, and all their know-how, guns, monies, armies, tools and information?"

"The individual can take initiatives without anybody's permission."

R. Buckminster Fuller, or "Bucky" as he was affectionately known, is one of the twentieth century's eclectic geniuses. His "motto" – "how Nature builds" so succinctly expresses his desire to find a homogeny between mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

"In architecture, form is a noun; in industry, form is a verb".
