The heart of the Waldorf method is that education is an art-it must speak to the child's experience. To educate the whole child, his heart and his will must be reached, as well as the mind.

Most naughtiness arises because the children are bored and lack a relationship with the teacher.

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.

Thinking... is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear. Just as the eye perceives colours and the ear sounds, so thinking perceives ideas

Our highest endeavour must be to develop individuals who are able out of their own initiative to impart purpose & direction to their lives.

We find the instrument for the Knowledge of God in ourselves But we find God everywhere.

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