More quotes by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We had thought that we were human beings making a spiritual journey it may be truer to say that we are spiritual beings making a human journey.
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
Science, philosophy and religion are bound to converge as they draw nearer to the whole.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We now know from neural-net technology that when there are more connections between points in a system, and there is greater strength between these connections, there will be sudden leaps in intelligence, where intelligence is defined as success rate in performing a task.
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
The more we split and pulverise matter artificially, the more insistently it proclaims its fundamental unity.
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 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
Not everything is immediately good to those who seek God but everything is capable of becoming good.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Let us keep the discoveries and indisputable measurements of physics. But ... A more complete study of the movements of the world will oblige us, little by little, to turn it upside down in other words, to discover that if things hold and hold together, it is only by reason of complexity, from above.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
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
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
Our duty, as men and women, is to proceed as if limits to our ability did not exist. We are collaborators in creation.
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
Isolation is a blind alley....Nothing on the planet grows except by convergence.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.
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
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
We are collaborators in creation.
