“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)

“X.: How far does one go when punishing the children?
Dr. Steiner: That is of course dependend on the case. Best would be, of course, if you had to punish as little as possible. But it can be the case that it is necessary to give a little beating.”

“We are made of numerous tiny men. Our big human is just a centralization of plenty of small men.
The next thing i will show you is, that inside of the eye there also is a tiny man. The nose also is a tiny man. And these tiny men are held together by the nervous system and form the complete man.
And all those tiny humans are created while man is still in a seminal state in the mothers body, by the influence of the celestial bodies.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“When for example the mother has never seen a person with an noticeable crooked nose, and she is meeting someone like that in the first months of pregnancy, her child will in most cases get a crooked nose, too.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“The Atlanteans had appliances which they would – so to speak – heat with plant seed, and inside of them the life force would turn into technical force.
Thats how their floating vehicles were propelled. These vehicles travelled at a height lower than that of the mountain ranges of the Atlantean period, and they had steering mechanisms by the aid of which they could rise above these mountain ranges.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“In the beginning of Atlantis, the human shape was ape-like. This body then has evolved. But the ape-like figures partly fell into decadence, and became todays monkeys. Monkeys are therefore biological brothers of man.
So that all animals that live around us are degenerated, discharged humans.” (Rudolf Steiner)

“That awful cultural brutality of transplating black people to europe is an awful deed, forced on others by the French. It reflects back even worse on France.
Upon blood, upon race, this reflects incredibly strong.” (Rudolf Steiner)
