    What a good quote

    You never change the existing reality by fighting it. Instead, create a new model that makes the old one obsolete - Buckminster Fuller

    Just saw it on the top of theinq, and it's so true. So take that all you people trying to change things

    I like this one better.

    "The serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage and willingness to change the things I can and the wisdom and clarity to know the difference between the two. "

    That's all very well, but as cool as geodesic domes are, they've hardly changed the world.

    Buckminsterfullerine (a.k.a. Buckyballs) was so named because the molecule resembles a geodesic dome.
