More quotes by 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
Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
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
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
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
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
Isolation is a blind alley....Nothing on the planet grows except by convergence.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We are collaborators in creation.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Faith has need of the whole truth.
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 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
Science, philosophy and religion are bound to converge as they draw nearer to the whole.
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
The whole life lies in the verb seeing.
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
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 more we split and pulverise matter artificially, the more insistently it proclaims its fundamental unity.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.
