More quotes by 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 dog knows, but does not know that he knows.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is in the hands of those who can give tomorrow's generations valid reasons to live and hope.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
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
No one can deny that a network (a world network) of economic and psychic affiliations is being woven at ever increasing speed which envelops and constantly penetrates more deeply within each of us. With every day that passes it becomes a little more impossible for us to act or think otherwise than collectively.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen.
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
We are collaborators in creation.
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
Everything that rises must converge.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The past has revealed to me the structure of the future.
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
Specialisation paralyses, ultra-specialisation kills. Palaeontology is littered with such catastrophes.
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 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
God is not remote from us. He is at the point of my pen, my (pick) shovel, my paint brush, my (sewing) needle - and my heart and thoughts.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Reach beyond your grasp. Your goals should be grand enough to get the best of you.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
