From an evolutionary point of view, man has stopped moving, if he ever did move.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
That there is an evolution of one sort or another is now common ground among scientists. Whether or not that evolution is directed is another question.

The only way forward is in the direction of a common passion, for nothing in the universe can ultimately resist the cumulative ardor of the collective soul.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The outcome of the world, the gates of the future, the entry into the super-human - these are not thrown open to a few of the privileged nor to one chosen people to the exclusion of all others. They will open only to an advance of all together, in a direction in which all together can join and find completion in a spiritual renovation of the earth.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Isolation is a blind alley....Nothing on the planet grows except by convergence.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

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 elect soul ... possesses God directly and finds in that unique possession the fulfillment of his own individuality.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
It doesn't matter if the water is cold or warm if you're going to have to wade through it anyway.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
A breeze passes in the night. When did it spring up? Whence does it come? Whither is it going? No man knows.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The more we split and pulverise matter artificially, the more insistently it proclaims its fundamental unity.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
He that will believe only what he can fully comprehend must have a long head or a very short creed.
