Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

The Age of Nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the Earth.

The more we split and pulverise matter artificially, the more insistently it proclaims its fundamental unity.

To love is to approach each other center to center.

Love is the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world.

Your creatures can come into being only, like shoot from stem, as part of an endlessly renewed process of evolution.

The stars are laboratories in which the evolution of matter proceeds in the direction of large molecules.

Evolution is gaining the psychic zones of the world... life, being and ascent of consciousness, could not continue to advance indefinitely along its line without transforming itself in depth. The being who is the object of his own reflection, in consequence, of that very doubling back upon himself becomes in a flash able to raise himself to a new sphere.

It doesn't matter if the water is cold or warm if you're going to have to wade through it anyway.

He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.

God is not remote from us. He is at the point of my pen, my (pick) shovel, my paint brush, my (sewing) needle - and my heart and thoughts.

The most telling and profound way of describing the evolution of the universe would undoubtedly be to trace the evolution of love.

Blessed be you, mighty matter, irresistible march of evolution, reality ever newborn; you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further and further in our pursuit of the truth.

He recognized with absolute certainty the empty fragility of even the noblest theorizings as compared with the definitive plenitude of the smallest fact grasped in its total, concrete reality.

By virtue of Creation, and still more the Incarnation, nothing here below is profane for those who know how to see.
