“The day will come when, after harnessing space, the winds, the tides, 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.”
- Peking, February 1934, “The Evolution of Chastity” in Toward the Future, London: Collins, 1975: 86-87.
