Hi Michael,

A citation can be found under the Peter Medawar entry on Wikiquote;

Yet the greater part of it, I shall show, is nonsense, tricked out with a
variety of metaphysical conceits, and its author can be excused of
dishonesty only on the grounds that before deceiving others he has taken
great pains to deceive himself.

* Review of Teilhard de Chardin’s The Phenomenon of Man, Mind, 70, pp 99 to
105.

I make no undertakings as respects the accuracy of same!

Blessings,
Murray
