“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)

“The other day i went to a book store in Basel, and found the latest assortment of books that was to be printed: a negro novel, just like negroes slowly migrate into the civilisation of europe in general.
Everywhere you find this enacting of negro dances, hopping of negro dances.
But we already have this negro novel. It´s extremly boring, ghastly boring, but people devour it.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“Yes, i for myself am convinced, that if we receive another number of negro novels, and pass them to be read by pregnant women, you dont have to see to it that negroes come to europe, that mulattoes are generated;
just by reading negro novels a whole number of mulatto children is created in europe, who are all gray, have mulatto hair, that will look all mulatto-like.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“So the negro has a strong sex drive. And since he actually has the sun, light and warmth there on his body surface, in his skin, his whole metabolism is working inside as if it´s cooked by the sun itself. Thats where the sex drive comes from.
Inside of the negro, all this is constantly truly cooked, and what is fanning the fire is the afterbrain.
And we europeans, we poor europeans, have got the thought-life, that is rooted in the brain.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“There is a biography of Schubert in which it is said that he looked rather like a negro.
There is not a grain of truth in it. He actually had a pleasing, attractive face.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“But the people, who underdeveloped their »I«-being [their »ego«], who were exposed too much to the effects of the sun, they were like plants: they deposited under their skin too many carbon-like elements and became black. This is why the negro is black.” (Rudolf Steiner)
