QUOTE
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—and that it may take a very long time.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955) was a French Jesuit priest and theologian with a background in science and paleontology. His influential work explores the nature of consciousness and evolution through the lens of spirituality.
