We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen.

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.

The stars are laboratories in which the evolution of matter proceeds in the direction of large molecules.

Above all, trust in the slow work of God.

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.

You must overcome death by finding God in it.
