Quote examples
Rudolf Steiner
Austrian Philosopher
If you observe children with sufficient objectivity as they grow into the world, then you will perceive that children's temporal bodies are still not fully connected with the spirit-soul. The task of education, understood in a spiritual sense, is to bring the soul-spirit into harmony with the temporal body.
Quote examples
Nate Silver
American Writer
