More quotes by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Everything that rises must converge.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We are collaborators in creation.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Our century is probably more religious than any other. How could it fail to be, with such problems to be solved? The only trouble is that it has not yet found a God it can adore.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
If there were no internal propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level - indeed in the molecule itself - it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up, with us, in hominized form... Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come into being.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Faith has need of the whole truth.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Today, something is happening to the whole structure of human consciousness. A fresh kind of life is starting. Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world are seeking each other, so that the world may come into being.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Each element of the cosmos is positively woven from all the others...The universe holds together, and only one way of considering it is really possible, that is, to take it as a whole, in one piece.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The age of nations has passed. Now, unless we wish to perish, we must shake off our old prejudices and build the Earth. The more scientifically I regard the world, the less can I see any possible biological future for it except in the active consciousness of its unity.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Specialisation paralyses, ultra-specialisation kills. Palaeontology is littered with such catastrophes.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.
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
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.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Each elect soul ... possesses God directly and finds in that unique possession the fulfillment of his own individuality.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Mankind is now caught up, as though in a train of gears, at the heart of a continually accelerating vortex of self-totalisation.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Not everything is immediately good to those who seek God but everything is capable of becoming good.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The more we split and pulverise matter artificially, the more insistently it proclaims its fundamental unity.
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
When humans truly discover the power of love, it will prove more important than the harnessing of fire.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
