I ask you to write this deeply into your souls . . . the materialistic culture . . . is now on the way to its close.

Live through deeds of love, and let others live with tolerance for their unique intentions.

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.

It is owing to our limitations that a thing appears to us as single and separate when in truth it is not a separate thing at all.

Our egoism gains nothing from acts of love, but the world gains all the more. Esotericism tells us that love is to the world what the Sun is for outer life. No soul could thrive if love departed from the world. Love is the “moral” Sun of the world.

Beauty is not the divine in a cloak of physical reality; no, it is physical reality in a cloak that is divine. The artist does not bring the divine on to the earth by letting it flow into the world; he raises the world into the sphere of the divine.

Anthroposophy does not want to impart knowledge. It seeks to awaken life.
