Quote by Richard Buckminster Fuller

Here is God's purpose -- for God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.

Here is God's purpose -- for God, to me, it seems, is a verb

Summary

This quote suggests that the purpose of God is not defined by a static or fixed entity, but rather through continuous action or being in a state of "verbhood." It implies that God is not merely a passive entity to be worshipped, but an active force that transcends definitions and exists beyond traditional concepts of nouns. The quote invites a perspective that focuses on God's ever-evolving nature and emphasizes the idea that connection and engagement with the divine is a dynamic process rather than a stagnant belief.

What we call personality (...) has become the most impersona

What we call personality (...) has become the most impersonal thing in the world. Its pale and featureless face appears like a ghost at every corner and in every crowd. ... Individualism kills individuality, precisely because individualism has to be an 'ism' quite as much as Communism or Calvinism. The economic and ethical school which calls itself individualist ended by threatening the world with the flattest and dullest spread of the commonplace. Men, instead of being themselves, set out to find a self to be: a sort of abstract economic self identified with self-interest. But while the self was that of a man, the self-interest was generally that of a class or a trade or even an empire. So far from really remaining a separate self, the man became part of a communal mass of selfishness.
