Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinYou have told me, O God, to believe in hell. But you have forbidden me to think...of any man as damned
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinScience, philosophy and religion are bound to converge as they draw nearer to the whole.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinIt is not our heads or our bodies which we must bring together, but our hearts. . . . Humanity. . . is building its composite brain beneath our eyes. May it not be that tomorrow, through the logical and biological deepening of the movement drawing it together, it will find its heart, without which the ultimate wholeness of its power of unification can never be achieved?
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinWe have reached a crossroads in human evolution where the only road which leads forward is towards a common passion. . . To continue to place our hopes in a social order achieved by external violence would simply amount to our giving up all hope of carrying the Spirit of the Earth to its limits.
