Buckminster Fuller "Great nations are simply the operating fronts of behind-the-scenes, vastly ambitious individuals who had become so effectively powerful because of their ability to remain invisible while operating behind the national scenery." "I just invent, then wait until man comes around to needing what I’ve invented." "God is a verb, not a noun." More In Nature "Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature."― Saint Augustine "For neither life nor nature cares if justice is ever done or not."― Patricia Highsmith "Acting is invigorating. But I don’t analyse it too much. It’s like a dog smelling where it’s going to do its toilet in the morning."― Liam Neeson
