The basis of artistic creation is not what is, but what might be; not the real, but the possible. Artists create according to the same principles as nature, but they apply them to individual entities, while nature, to use a Goethean expression, thinks nothing of individual things. She is always building and destroying, because she wants to achieve perfection, not in the individual thing, but in the whole.
Rudolf SteinerDie Kunst ist ewig, ihre Formen wandeln sich. (The art is eternal, their shapes are changing.)
Rudolf SteinerReverence awakens in the soul a sympathetic power through which we attract qualities in the beings around us, which would otherwise remain concealed.
Rudolf SteinerFor every step in spiritual perception, three steps are to be taken in moral development.
