We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
From Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.
The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one's self to others.
Growing old is like being increasingly penalized for a crime you haven't committed.
Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.
It doesn't matter if the water is cold or warm if you're going to have to wade through it anyway.
Nothing can resist the person who smiles at life - I don't mean the ironic and disillusioned smile of my grandfather, but the triumphant smile of the person who knows that he will survive, or that at least he will be saved by what seems to be destroying him.
Death is acceptable only if it represents the physically necessary passage toward a union, the condition of a metamorphosis.
Is evolution a theory, a system, or an hypothesis? It is much more: it is a general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must bow and which they must satisfy henceforward if they are to be thinkable and true.
