Fuller, R.B.: RBF Modus Operandi:
"The space is a priori mystery that the space vehicle goes in. And you don’t think that it’s a mysterious thing that he had the capability to get there? It’s all part of the same mystery.
“People who listen to me say, 'Here’s a man who’s selling screwdrivers… they don’t realize how mysterious screwing is. … I’ve been identified only with the physical so far. I went through 25, 30 years of people saying: this is the bathroom man, or the automobile man-- that’s all they thought about me. It’s only in the last couple of years that they discover I’m a thinker. And I started off as a thinker. I didn’t start with bathrooms. I started off with God and my charge was to work with the physical. That’s where I had the capability; that’s why we’re here. I accepted this. And to find myself identified, then, with just being a fishing-pole salesman! I find this thing echoed when you say that about my analogy, 'cause I use a very good tool there. I have helped to shock man into realizing he’s on board a space vehicle. He’s a passenger on it and he’s intimately related to it.”
