09 Quotes: March, Fuller
"There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the
three things we crave most in life --
happiness, freedom, and peace of mind --
are always attained by giving them to someone else."
- Peyton Conway March
"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
