We are collaborators in creation.
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 task for us now, if we are to survive, is to build the earth.
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
Energy is the measure of that which passes from one atom to another in the course of their transformations. A unifying power, then, but also, because the atom appears to become enriched or exhausted in the course of the exchange, the expression of structure.
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 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 dog knows, but does not know that he knows.
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
That there is an evolution of one sort or another is now common ground among scientists. Whether or not that evolution is directed is another question.
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
The stars are laboratories in which the evolution of matter proceeds in the direction of large molecules.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Reach beyond your grasp. Your goals should be grand enough to get the best of you.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
When humans truly discover the power of love, it will prove more important than the harnessing of fire.
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
From an evolutionary point of view, man has stopped moving, if he ever did move.
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
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
Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
