“In education we must comprehend the human being as a whole, in the totality of body, soul and spirit. We must be able to deal with the spirit if we would educate.”

“The stars once spoke to humanity. It is world destiny that they are silent now. To be aware of that silence Can bring pain to earthly humanity. But in the deepening silence There grows and ripens What humanity speaks to the stars. To be aware of that speaking Can bring strength to spirit humanity.”
Rudolf Steiner
