I snatched this from a friend's facebook wall today:

‎"In civilization we try to combat winter. We try to modify it so that we can continue to live the same sort of life that we live in summer. We plow the sidewalk so we can wear short shoes, and the roads so we can use cars. We heat every enclosed space and then, inadequately clad, dash quickly from one little pocket of hot air through a bitter no man’s land of cold to another. We fool around with sun lamps, trying to convince our skins that it is really August, and we eat travel-worn spinach in an attempt to sell the same idea to our stomachs. Naturally, it doesn’t work very well. You can neither remodel nor ignore such a big thing as winter."

Louise Dickinson Rich, We Took to the Woods, 1942

“The earth is like a spaceship that didn't come with an operating manual” I like this quote very much and it’s not only funny but also true about our life.

I like that quote, what is the source?

Google says Buckminster Fuller, but I can't find any actual citations. I don't immediately see any debunking either though, which you do with a lot of common attributions.
