Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Love Quotations

Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.

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 the most powerful and still most unknown energy in the world.

Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mystical of cosmic forces. Love is the primal and universal psychic energy. Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.

A universal love is not only psychologically possible; it is the only complete and final way in which we are able to love.

The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.

To love is to approach each other center to center.

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

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.

When humans truly discover the power of love, it will prove more important than the harnessing of fire.

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