Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

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

Love is an adventure and a conquest. It survives and develops, like the universe itself, only by perpetual discovery.

At the heart of every being lies creation's dream of a principle that will one day give organic form to its fragmented treasures. God is unity.

Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
