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." -- R. Buckminster Fuller Edit: I think he was fond of this image(?) since on another occasion he said: "God, to me, it seems, is a verb, not a noun, proper or improper."
