Buckminster Fuller is a name no one in the arts can ignore. His ideas span from out-of-the-box and weird to downright crazy. This quote oozing out of his creative genius grabbed my attention coming from a blaring television in passing. Buckminster Fuller, creative genius born in 1895, said: "Integrity is the essence of everything successful" At first you think - what? That doesn't ring true.
