Quote

The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art-it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.

Anthroposophy does not want to impart knowledge. It seeks to awaken life.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
It is important that we discover an educational method where people learn to learn and go on learning their whole lives
Rudolf Steiner
Image
When you try to do one step forward to attain knowledge about the hidden truths, then do the same time three steps forward to perfect your character.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
For every one step that you take in the pursuit of higher knowledge, take three steps in the perfection of your own character
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The higher worlds are around us. These worlds are not only heavenly worlds, not only worlds of happiness, though paradise and happiness are in them, but they are also worlds that could be terrible for the people, by dangerous facts and creatures.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where God's presence is no longer a tenable proposition and where his absence is no longer a felt, indeed overwhelming weight, certain dimensions of thought and creativity are no longer attainable.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
A real artist may create his picture in a lonely desert... gods look over his shoulder he creates in their company. What does he care whether or not anybody admires his picture?
Rudolf Steiner
Image
One can only understand history and all of social life, including today’s social life, if one pays attention to people’s racial characteristics. And one can only understand all that is spiritual in the correct sense if one first examines how this spiritual element operates within people precisely through the color of their skin.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The sun with loving light makes bright for me each day, the soul with spirit power gives strength unto my limbs. In sunlight shining clear I revere, Oh God, the strength of humankind, which thou has planted in my soul, that I may with all my might, may love to work and learn. From thee stream light and strength to thee rise love and thanks.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
In order to approach a creation as sublime as the Bhagavad-Gita with full understanding it is necessary to attune our soul to it.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility—these three forces are the very nerve of education.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The sensory world is the school, without which the human being would never come to the spirit.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
In so far as we think, we are the all-one being that pervades everything.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
If we do not believe within ourselves this deeply rooted feeling that there is something higher than ourselves, we shall never find the strength to evolve into something higher.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
When the human being sings he lends expression to the great wise ways in which the world was made.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Anthroposophy is a path of knowledge, to guide the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe... Anthroposophists are those who experience, as an essential need of life, certain questions on the nature of the human being and the universe, just as one experiences hunger and thirst.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Spirit is never without matter, matter is never without spirit.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Where is the book in which the teacher can read about what teaching is? The children themselves are this book. We should not learn to teach out of any book other than the one lying open before us and consisting of the children themselves.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The history of our spiritual life is a continuing search for the unity between ourselves and the world.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Geometry is knowledge that appears to be produced by human beings, yet whose meaning is totally independent of them.
Rudolf Steiner
