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?

Image
Our task is to harvest from the mortal world fruits for the immortal.
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
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
Seek the truly practical life, but seek it in such a way that it does not blind you to the spirit working in it. Seek the spirit, but seek it not out of spiritual greed, but so that you may apply it in the genuinely practical life.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
You will not be good teachers if you focus only on what you do and not upon who you are.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Each one of us has it in themselves to be a free spirit, just as every rose bud has in it a rose.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
When the past has taught us that we have more within us than we have ever used, our prayer is a cry to the divine to come to us and fill us with its power.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
The stars spoke once to man. It is world destiny That they are silent now. To be aware of the silence Can become pain for earthly man. But in the deepening silence There grows and ripens What man speaks to the stars.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
For human beings, love is the most important fruit of experience in the sense world.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Every human being shall see in each and all of his fellow-men a hidden divinity... that every human being is made in the likeness of the Godhead. When that time comes there will be no need for any religious coercion for then every meeting between one man and another will of itself be in the nature of a religious rite, a sacrament.
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
Only when I follow my love for my objective is it I myself who act.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Our task is to educate the human being in such a way that he or she can bring to expression in the right way that which is living in the whole human being, and on the other side that which puts him/her into the world in the right way.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Live through deeds of love, and let others live with tolerance for their unique intentions.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
Truth is a free creation of the human spirit, that never would exist at all if we did not generate it ourselves.
Rudolf Steiner
Image
We find the instrument for the Knowledge of God in ourselves But we find God everywhere.
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
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
Anthroposophy does not want to impart knowledge. It seeks to awaken life.
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.
