Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Over every living thing which is to spring up, to grow, to flower, to ripen during this day say again the words: This is my Body.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We are collaborators in creation.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Those who spread their sails in the right way to the winds of the earth will always find themselves born by a current towards the open seas.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
This fundamental discovery that all bodies owe their origin to arrangements of single initial corpuscular type is the beacon that lights the history of the universe to our eyes. In its own way, matter obeyed from the beginning that great law of biology to which we shall have to recur time and time again, the law of complexification.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Let us keep the discoveries and indisputable measurements of physics. But ... A more complete study of the movements of the world will oblige us, little by little, to turn it upside down in other words, to discover that if things hold and hold together, it is only by reason of complexity, from above.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
