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.

The history of our spiritual life is a continuing search for the unity between ourselves and the world.

Each one of us has it in themselves to be a free spirit, just as every rose bud has in it a rose.
