More From R. Buckminster Fuller

It's fear of the unknown. the unknown is what it is. and to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that-it's all illusion. unknown is what it is. accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. everything is unknown-then you're ahead of the game. that's what it is. right?

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

Outcast on a cold star, unable to feel anything but an awful helpless numbness. i look down into the warm, earthy world. into a nest of lovers' beds, baby cribs, meal tables, all the solid commerce of life in this earth, and feel apart, enclosed in a wall of glass.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. there is no transition into being a woman; you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

At this rate, i'd be lucky if i wrote a page a day. then i knew what the problem was. i needed experience. how could i write about life when i'd never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? a girl i knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in africa. how could i compete with that sort of thing?
