Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little
man could do. Think of the Queen Mary—the whole ship goes by and then
comes the rudder. And there's a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder
called a trim tab. It's a miniature rudder. Just moving the little trim
tab builds a low
pressure that pulls the rudder around. Takes almost no effort at all. So
I said that the little individual can be a trim tab. Society thinks
it's going right by you, that it's left you altogether. But if you're
doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your
foot out like that and the whole big ship of state is going to go. So I
said, call me Trim Tab. - Buckminster Fuller

"Outside of a dog, a book is
probably man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to
read." - Groucho Marx
“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding” - Betty White "To Television. It is called a medium because it is neither rare nor well done." Ernie Kovacs |
