“The new human type will be found scattered more or less over the thinking face of the globe. Some apparent attraction draws these scattered elements together and causes them to unite among themselves. You have only to take two people in a gathering endowed with this mysterious sense of the future; they will gravitate instinctively towards one another. They will know one another. No racial, social or religious barrier seems to be effective against this force of attraction.”
– Teilhard de Chardin
