15 Quotes: Fuller, Jung
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty.
I only think about how to solve the problem.
But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful,
I know it is wrong."
- Buckminster Fuller
"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."
- Carl Jung
