Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The past has revealed to me the structure of the future.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love is the internal, affectively apprehended, aspect of the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the expression and the agent of universal synthesis.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
By means of all created things, without excaption, the divine assails us, penetrates us, and molds us. We imagined it as distant and inaccessible, when in fact we live steeped in its burning layers
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
