More quotes by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Everything that rises must converge.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The reality of spirit-matter is inevitably translated into and confirmed by a structure of the spirit.
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
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
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
We are collaborators in creation.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Reach beyond your grasp. Your goals should be grand enough to get the best of you.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The dog knows, but does not know that he knows.
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
Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
From an evolutionary point of view, man has stopped moving, if he ever did move.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Man only progresses by slowly elaborating from age to age the essence and the totality of a universe deposited within him.
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
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
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
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
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
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 day is not far distant when humanity will realize that biologically it is faced with a choice between suicide and adoration.
