This fundamental discovery that all bodies owe their origin to arrangements of single initial corpuscular type is the beacon that lights the history of the universe to our eyes. In its own way, matter obeyed from the beginning that great law of biology to which we shall have to recur time and time again, the law of "complexification."

Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mysterious of the cosmic forces.

To love is to approach each other center to center.

Mankind is still embryonic ... [man is] the bud from which something more complicated and more centered than man himself should emerge.

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

Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.

Your creatures can come into being only, like shoot from stem, as part of an endlessly renewed process of evolution.
