“You need the stupid or the Negroid to prepare the spicy seasoning; you pour the dying – not the deliquescent in sick euphony. One would also enjoy the subsensible demonic, which in turn emerges from the Negroid.“ (Marie Steiner)

"There is a biography of Schubert, which depicts the exterior of Schubert as if Schubert would have looked something like a Negro.
There has been no question about it! He has even had a very friendly face!“(Rudolf Steiner)

“I consider the anti-Semites to be innocuous people. The best among them are like children. They want to have something that they can ascribe the blame for an evil to which they are suffering. (…)
Much worse than the anti-Semites are the heartless leaders of the Europe-weary Jews, Herzl and Nordau.” (Rudolf Steiner)

"The
one who can approach these things clairvoyantly knows that there are entities on the scene of the moon, in a certain respect
humanlike beings, only that they are dwarves, for they hardly
reach the level a six or seven year old child. On the moon, the physical conditions are very different; the
atmosphere is, for example, a very different one, and the consequence is
that these beings, when they speak,
acquire the ability of tremendous roaring, the give enormous, terrible sounds. These dwarfish beings can be present within our world as astral beings. (…)Especially near asylums you find such entities, astral beings with special predilection. “(Rudolf Steiner)

“Der Düsseldorfer Erziehungswissenschaftler Heiner Barz und Dirk Randoll vom Institut für Empirische Sozialforschung im nordrhein-westfälischen Alfter haben jetzt eine umfassende Studie vorgelegt*. Dafür wurden die Ergebnisse einer Befragung unter mehr als 1100 Absolventen der Steiner-Schulen ausgewertet.
Ihr Fazit: Die "in der Tendenz guten Schulen” weisen laut dem Urteil früherer Schüler schwere Mängel im Fremdsprachenunterricht und bei der Vermittlung von Rechtschreibkenntnissen auf.
Den Werdegang der Schüler scheinen diese Defizite nicht einmal zu hemmen. (…) Das mag allerdings auch an der Herkunft der Befragten liegen: Überwiegend stammen sie, so die Studie, “aus dem gehobenen Mittelstand mit einem hohen Akademikeranteil, dem sogenannten Bildungsbürgertum”.
Die Waldorfschulen fördern vielfältig, neben den traditionellen Fächern stehen etwa Nähen, Stricken, Häkeln, Spinnen, Schlossern, Feldmessen, Bildhauerei und Theater auf dem Stundenplan.“ (Der Spiegel)

“In short, the thyroid gland was thought not to have a real impact, until it was noticed that if you grew a canker, that had a special influence on your intellectual abilities. One would then study the cankers of Cretins, of stupid people. (Rudolf Steiner)

“But mans head is being generated by the whole universe.
It also is an image, an effigy of space. The reason why it is round on top is, because its shaped in the likeness of outer space.
All of the starry sky acts upon the skull. This is not a fantastic idea.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“In reference of what is evolving in the mothers body, people are so stupid as to say: That is caused by fertilization.
When my lung is built, the head received the power to build the lungs from outer space. Specially when the kidneys are built, man received powers from outer space, from Jupiter for example.
Well, these are not fantastic ideas.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“Of course, when a pregnant woman, say, takes a walk in the woods and finds someone that hanged himself in a tree and is already dead – if he is still twitching its even worse – she will be terribly startled.
She will probably give birth to a child that is pale, has a pointed chin, has meager extremities and is hardly able to move.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“Thus that an elephant has evolved what we call the nose in a special way, and so he actually is the most intelligent animal.
That does no depend on the size of his brain, it depends on the fact that its brain leads straight into its nose.” (Rudolf Steiner)
