The human person is the sum total of a 15 billion year chain of unbroken evolution now thinking about itself

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The zest for life, which is t...

The zest for life, which is the source of all passion and all insight, even divine, does not come to us from ourselves.... It is God who has to give us the impulse of wanting him.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Blessed be you, mighty matter...

Blessed be you, mighty matter, irresistible march of evolution, reality ever newborn; you who, by constantly shattering our mental categories, force us to go ever further and further in our pursuit of the truth.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The outcome of the world, the...

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 146 quotes

Without the slightest doubt t...

Without the slightest doubt there is something through which material and spiritual energy hold togehter and are complementary. In the last analysis, somehow or other, there must be a single energy operating in the world. And the first idea that occurs to us is that the 'soul' must be as it were the focal point of transformation at which, from all the points of nature, the forces of bodies converge, to become interiorised and sublimated in beauty and truth.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The world, this palpable worl...

The world, this palpable world, which we were wont to treat with the boredom and disrespect with which we habitually regard places with no sacred association for us, is in truth a holy place, and we did not know it. Venite, adoremus.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Love is the most universal, t...

Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mysterious of the cosmic forces.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Man the individual consoles h...

Man the individual consoles himself for his passing with the thought of the offspring or the works which he leaves behind.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

By the sole fact of his enter...

By the sole fact of his entering into 'Thought,' man represents something entirely singular and absolutely unique in the field of our experience. On a single planet, there could not be more than one centre of emergence for reflexion.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Historically, the stuff of th...

Historically, the stuff of the universe goes on becoming concentrated into ever more organized forms of matter.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Regarded zoologically, man is...

Regarded zoologically, man is today an almost isolated figure in nature. In his cradle, he was less isolated.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Certain though I am - and eve...

Certain though I am - and ever more certain - that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Neither the Christian attitud...

Neither the Christian attitude of love for all mankind nor humane hopes for an organized society must cause us to forget that the 'human stratum' may not be homogeneous.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Christ has conquered death, n...

Christ has conquered death, not only by suppressing its evil effects, but by reversing its sting. By virtue of Christ's rising again, nothing any longer kills inevitably, but everything is capable of becoming the blessed touch of the divine hands, the blessed influence of the will of God upon our lives.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

My roots are in Paris, and I ...

My roots are in Paris, and I will not pull them up.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The earth was probably born b...

The earth was probably born by accident; but, in accordance with one of the most general laws of evolution, scarcely had this accident happened than it was immediately made use of and recast into something naturally directed.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The more nobly a man wills an...

The more nobly a man wills and acts, the more avid he becomes for great and sublime aims to pursue. He will no longer be content with family, country, and the remunerative aspect of his work. He will want wider organisations to create, new paths to blaze, causes to uphold, truths to discover, an ideal to cherish and defend.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

At the extreme temperature oc...

At the extreme temperature occurring in the stars, matter can only survive in its most dissociated states. Only simple bodies exist on these incandescent stars.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

I would like to express the t...

I would like to express the thoughts of a man who, having finally penetrated the partitions and ceilings of little countries, little coteries, little sects, rises above all these categories and finds himself a child and citizen of the Earth.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Truly, there is a Christian n...

Truly, there is a Christian note which makes the whole World vibrate, like an immense gong, in the divine Christ. This note is unique and universal, and in it alone consists the Gospel.
