More quotes by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The day is not far distant when humanity will realize that biologically it is faced with a choice between suicide and adoration.
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
The task for us now, if we are to survive, is to build the earth.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The more we split and pulverise matter artificially, the more insistently it proclaims its fundamental unity.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Reach beyond your grasp. Your goals should be grand enough to get the best of you.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Isolation is a blind alley....Nothing on the planet grows except by convergence.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The world, this palpable world, which we were wont to treat with the boredom and disrespect with which we habitually regard places with no sacred association for us, is in truth a holy place, and we did not know it. Venite, adoremus.
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
The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.
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. And over every death-force which waits in readiness to corrode, to wither, to cut down, speak again your commanding words which express the supreme mystery of faith: This is my Blood.
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
The dog knows, but does not know that he knows.
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
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
Faith has need of the whole truth.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We have reached a crossroads in human evolution where the only road which leads forward is towards a common passion. . . To continue to place our hopes in a social order achieved by external violence would simply amount to our giving up all hope of carrying the Spirit of the Earth to its limits.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The whole life lies in the verb seeing.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Specialisation paralyses, ultra-specialisation kills. Palaeontology is littered with such catastrophes.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
As a result of changes which, over the last century, have modified our empirically based pictures of the world and hence the moral value of many of its elements, the human religious ideal inclines to stress certain tendencies and to express itself in terms which seem, at first sight, no longer to coincide with the christian religious ideal
