For today, a quote. Well, not just a quote, but one of my favorite quotes (and I know a lot of great quotes, I'm a quote-lover). I collect, as you might have guessed, positive quotes :-)
This one is from Teilhard de Chardin, a fellow with some pretty far out theories. He was a jesuit priest slash philosopher slash paleontologist, who had his own ideas about evolution. Needless to say, present day scientists don't think very highly of him. This quote, however, has a great effect on me every time I read it. It's as if I get a glimpse of... the shape of things to come. And yes indeed, Love is the most undiscovered and untapped force in the universe. No doubt.
The day will come when, after harnessing the winds, the tides and gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of Love. And on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.
Let's drink one to Teilhard. I'm sure he must've been a good guy.
