Frank Lloyd Wright on R. Buckminster Fuller:
"Buckminster Fuller-- you are the most sensible man in New York, truly sensitive. Nature gave you antennae, long-range finders you have learned to use. I find almost all your prognosticating nearly right-- much of it dead right, and I love you for the way you prognosticate. To address you directly will be a hell of a way of reviewing your book-- I know. I should write all around you, take you apart, and put you together again to show-- between the lines-- how much bigger my own mind is than yours and how much smarter than you I can be with it and leave the essence of your thoughts untouched.
“But I couldn’t do it if I would and I wouldn’t do it if I could. To say that you have now a good style of your own in saying very important things is only admitting something unexpected. To say you are the most sensible man in New York isn’t saying much for you-- in that pack of caged fools. And everybody who knows you knows you are extraordinarily sensitive. … Faithfully, your admirer and friend, more power to you-- you valuable ‘unit.’”
