Quote

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?

More quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Image
Love is higher than opinion. If people love one another the most varied opinions can be reconciled - thus one of the most important tasks for humankind today and in the future is that we should learn to live together and understand one another. If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.
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
Anthroposophie is not a religion but a tool for understanding of religions.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Goethe's thinking was not rigid with inflexible contours it was a thinking in which the concepts continually metamorphose.
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
A real medicine can only exist when it penetrates into a knowledge which embraces the human being in respect to body, soul and spirit.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The task of understanding is not to replicate in conceptual form something that already exists, but rather to create a wholly new realm, that together with the world given to our senses constitutes the fullness of reality.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Our task is to harvest from the mortal world fruits for the immortal.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Reverence, enthusiasm, and a sense of guardianship, these three are actually the panacea, the magical remedy, in the soul of the educator and teacher.
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 human beings, love is the most important fruit of experience in the sense world.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
We have to live over into the other we have to dissolve with our soul into the other.
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
For what lies inside of man is the whole spiritual cosmos in condensed form. In man's inner organism we have an image of the entire cosmos.
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
It is the death of present art when it returns again and again to the model. Use of the model is only an intermediate stage in artistic development. Create out of a living spirituality to overcome everything naturalistic.
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
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
Reverence awakens in the soul a sympathetic power through which we attract qualities in the beings around us, which would otherwise remain concealed.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Live through deeds of love, and let others live with tolerance for their unique intentions.
Rudolf Steiner
