Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The age of nations has passed. Now, unless we wish to perish, we must shake off our old prejudices and build the Earth. The more scientifically I regard the world, the less can I see any possible biological future for it except in the active consciousness of its unity.
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

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
