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
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

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Science, philosophy and religion are bound to converge as they draw nearer to the whole.
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
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
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
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
You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.
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
It doesn't matter if the water is cold or warm if you're going to have to wade through it anyway.
