“Driven by the forces of love, the fragments of the world seek each other so that the world may come into being.”

The Phenomenon of Man (1955)
Context: 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.
