I am not enough of a mathemat...

I am not enough of a mathematician to be able to judge either the well-foundedness or the limits of relativity in physics.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Love in all its subtleties is...

Love in all its subtleties is nothing more, and nothing less, than the more or less direct trace marked on the heart of the element by the psychical convergence of the universe upon itself.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

I came to China to follow my ...

I came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The earth's crust has not yet...

The earth's crust has not yet stopped heaving and plunging under our feet. Mountain ranges are still being thrust up on the horizon. Granites are still growing under the continental masses. Nor has the organic world ceased to produce new buds at the tips of its countless branches.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

In a way, the whole tangible ...

In a way, the whole tangible universe itself is a vast residue, a skeleton of countless lives that have germinated in it and have left it, leaving behind them only a trifling, infinitesimal part of their riches.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The longer I live, the more I...

The longer I live, the more I feel that true repose consists in 'renouncing' one's own self, by which I mean making up one's mind to admit that there is no importance whatever in being 'happy' or 'unhappy' in the usual meaning of the words.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

It seems to me that terrestri...

It seems to me that terrestrial beings, as they become more autonomous, psychologically richer, shut themselves up in a way against one another, and at the same time gradually become strangers to the cosmic environment and currents, impenetrable to one another, and incapable of exteriorizing themselves.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

However far back I go into my...

However far back I go into my childhood, nothing seems to me more characteristic of, or more familiar in, my interior economy than the appetite or irresistible demand for some 'Unique all-sufficing and necessary reality.'

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

All I know is that, thanks to...

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Have you ever thought how hum...

Have you ever thought how humiliating and distressing it was to be placed upon a sphere? For friendship it is a boon never to be able to be further apart than the antipodes. But suppose that you are leaving together to go on and on; it is impossible. To go beyond a certain point is to return to where you began.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Mankind, the spirit of the ea...

Mankind, the spirit of the earth, the synthesis of individuals and peoples, the paradoxical conciliation of the element with the whole, and of unity with multitude - all these are called Utopian, and yet they are biologically necessary.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

When all is said and done, wh...

When all is said and done, what constitutes the impregnable superiority of Christianity over all other types of Faith is that it is ever more consciously identified with a Christogenesis: in other words, with an awareness of the rise of a certain universal Presence which is at once immortalizing and unifying.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Long before the awakening of ...

Long before the awakening of thought on earth, manifestations of cosmic energy must have been produced which have no parallel today.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

I am a little too absorbed by...

I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The Hindu religions gave me t...

The Hindu religions gave me the impression of a vast well into which one plunges in order to grasp the reflection of the sun.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

The facts tell us that no rel...

The facts tell us that no religious Faith releases - or ever has released at any moment in History - a higher degree of warmth, a more intense dynamism of unification than the Christianity of our own day - and the more Catholic it is, the truer my words.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Man is unable to see himself ...

Man is unable to see himself entirely unrelated to mankind, neither is he able to see mankind unrelated to life, nor life unrelated to the universe.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Man can be understood only by...

Man can be understood only by ascending from physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. In other words, he is first of all a cosmic problem.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

Religion, born of the earth's...

Religion, born of the earth's need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin 146 quotes

What I cry out for, like ever...

What I cry out for, like every being, with my whole life and all my earthly passion, is something very different from an equal to cherish: it is a God to adore.
