&#8220;The idea is like grass.  It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on.&#8221;

Buckminster Fuller, in Critical Path (hello, Dr. Hoo!), answers a child&#8217;s query, &#8220;What is fire?&#8221;:
&#8220;Fire is the Sun unwinding from the tree&#8217;s log. The Earth revolves and the trees revolve as the radiation from the Sun&#8217;s flame reaches the revolving planet Earth. By photosynthesis the green buds and leaves of the tree convert that Sun [...]]]></description>

Radical Priorities, Pages 119-120:
In attempting to assess a new Administration in the United States, it is important to bear in mind the extraordinarily narrow spectrum of political discourse and the limited base of political power, a fact that distinguishes the United States from many other industrial democracies.
