Rudolf Steiner: "Anthroposophy should not be abstract theory but real life. Real life, that is its nature; and if it is made into abstract theory this is often not at all a better but a worse theory than others. But it becomes theory only when it is made such — i.e. when one kills it. It is still not sufficiently realized that Anthroposophy is not only a conception of the world, different from others, but that it must also be received differently. Its nature is recognized and experienced only when one receives it in this different way."
