The 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 only way forward is in the direction of a common passion, for nothing in the universe can ultimately resist the cumulative ardor of the collective soul.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinA universal love is not only psychologically possible; it is the only complete and final way in which we are able to love.
