Reach beyond your grasp. Your goals should be grand enough to get the best of you.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinPsychogenesis has led to man. Now it effaces itself, relieved or absorbed by another and a higher function-the engendering and subsequent development of the mind, in one word noogenesis. When for the first time in a living creature instinct perceived itself in its own mirror, the whole world took a pace forward.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThe time has come to realise that an interpretation of the universeโeven a positivist oneโremains unsatisfying unless it covers the interior as well as the exterior of things; mind as well as matter. The true physics is that which will, one day, achieve the inclusion of man in his wholeness in a coherent picture of the world.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinThe Age of Nations is past. The task before us now, if we would not perish, is to build the Earth.
