More quotes by 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
As a result of changes which, over the last century, have modified our empirically based pictures of the world and hence the moral value of many of its elements, the human religious ideal inclines to stress certain tendencies and to express itself in terms which seem, at first sight, no longer to coincide with the christian religious ideal
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future is more beautiful than all the pasts.
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
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
When humans truly discover the power of love, it will prove more important than the harnessing of fire.
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
The past has revealed to me the structure of the future.
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
The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The future belongs to those who give the next generation reason for hope.
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 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
Over every living thing which is to spring up, to grow, to flower, to ripen during this day say again the words: This is my Body. And over every death-force which waits in readiness to corrode, to wither, to cut down, speak again your commanding words which express the supreme mystery of faith: This is my Blood.
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
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The dog knows, but does not know that he knows.
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
Specialisation paralyses, ultra-specialisation kills. Palaeontology is littered with such catastrophes.
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
