Not everything is immediately good to those who seek God; but everything is capable of becoming good.

The most telling and profound way of describing the evolution of the universe would undoubtedly be to trace the evolution of love.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

My starting point is the fundamental initial fact that each one of us is perforce linked by all the material organic and psychic strands of his being to all that surrounds him. . . . If we look far enough back in the depths of time, the disordered anthill of living beings suddenly, for an informed observer, arranges itself in long files that make their way by various paths towards greater consciousness.

The task for us now, if we are to survive, is to build the earth.

God loves everyone in the world who doesn't love himself. Does God love God?

If there were no internal propensity to unite, even at a prodigiously rudimentary level - indeed in the molecule itself - it would be physically impossible for love to appear higher up, with us, in hominized form... Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come into being.
