Evolutionary Process

“I live on Earth at present and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing - a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process - an integral function of the Universe.”

Buckminster Fuller, I seem to be a Verb, 1970

Karl Blossfeldt - Abutilon, Saxifraga Aizoon, ? - Urformen der Kunst - 1929

"All life is but a poem, a movement. I am but a word, a verb, a depth, in the most savage sense, the most mystique, the most alive."

Blaise Cendrars, Der Sturm, 1913
quoted in Michel Décaudin, La crise des valeurs symbolistes: vingt ans de poésie française, 1895-1914, 1991

Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas.”

Rudolf Steiner in Goethean Science (1883)

“The sense for the perception of architecture is not the eyes — but living. Our life is its image.”
