“Man is in opposition to the outside world. The soul-mind strives to constantly absorbe him.
This is why we are flaking off, chipping off all the time.
And when the spirit is not strong enough, we have to cut off pieces, like fingernails; because the spirit, infiltrating from the outside, desires to primingly destroy them.”(Rudolf Steiner)

Dr. Steiner: “There you have the old amphibians and reptiles, that is where man in his outer shape is still like jelly; he is merely created amphibic.”

Dr. Steiner: “But these beasts do breathe fire, Archaeopteryx for example.”
X.: “So those animals seen in museums these days, they were still breathing fire?”
Dr. Steiner: “Yes, all those that belong to the dinosaurs, they belonged to the tertirary.”

“What is brain matter? Brain matter is simply abandonded bowel matter. The brains premature segerations pass through the guts. The content of the bowel is indeed related to the brains content.
If i were to talk bizarrely, i would say, an advanced dungheap is what is spreading in the brain; but its quite correct.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“We show, that the british isles have risen and fallen four times. That is where we come back to the term of old Atlantis, in a geological way. That can be determined by the layers.
So we try to put these things into context, but we must not resile to tell children about the old land of Atlantis. We must not skip this.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“So the child was dead. The outer, materialistic view could say: Well, by accident the moving van tilted over at this hour, the child got underneath it and got squashed. From a spiritual view, this is utter nonsense.
Because what we have got here is the childs karma, and the childs karma guided every single circumstance. It also guided the moving van just in the hour, in which the child needed its death; because the childs karma wanted it this way.”(Rudolf Steiner)

“Aber wer dadurch, daß er mit einem Fernrohr da hinausschaut und diese Spiralnebel sieht, sagt: Nun ja, solch ein Spiralnebel war auch einmal unser ganzes Sonnensystem -, der ist ungefähr so gescheit, wie wenn einer in der Ferne einen Mückenschwarm sieht und ihn für eine Staubwolke hält.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“And when the jews for example feel insulted when you say: You are no sculptors, there is nothing you can accomplish in this field – so you can say to yourself: Not all people have to be sculptors!
So it is true that the jews are not fit to be sculptors; from the ten commandments they absorbed that one: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image”, because in figurative view they dont want to depict anything transcendental.“ (Rudolf Steiner)
