181. Anthroposophical Life Gifts: Lecture VII 21 May 1918, Berlin
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The second part is to give Goethe's thoughts about his Faust, and the third part some development of thoughts on the “Fairytale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.” I mention this because I wish to draw your attention to the fact that it is really necessary to grasp with penetrative thoughts what is contained in the spiritual substance of humanity—also as regards the past; that we should take seriously what is to be found there.
28. The Story of My Life: Chapter I
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
It was as if the mountains rose up out of the all-surrounding green of the friendly landscape. On the distant boundaries of the circle one had the majesty of the peaks, and close around the tenderness of nature.
214. Oswald Spengler, Prophet of World Chaos: Oswald Spengler I 06 Aug 1922, Dornach
Tr. Norman MacBeth, Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
Indeed this sleep-nature of the plant has even some highly interesting qualities: “The thrusting of the first green spears out of the winter-earth, the swelling of the buds, the whole force of blossoming, of fragrance, of glowing, of ripening—this is all desire for the fulfilment of a destiny and a constantly yearning query as to the Why.”
80b. The Inner Nature and the Essence of the Human Soul: Anthroposophy as a Way of Life 09 Mar 1922, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
I would like to say: Whereas before, when you looked at a plant, for example, you saw with your eyes its green leaves, its colorful petals and, to a certain extent, what the flower reflects of the sun, afterwards you penetrate, as it were, into the secrets of the plant itself.
343. The Foundation Course: Ordination and Transubstantiation 03 Oct 1921, Dornach
Tr. Hanna von Maltitz

Rudolf Steiner
They had no sensual experience of the colour blue, they had much more of a sense developed towards the other side, towards vital colours, red and so on, so that for the Greeks blue appeared more green than it is for us today. From this point of view, one must understand everything as the ancients did.
9. Theosophy (1971): Body, Soul and Spirit
Tr. Henry B. Monges, Gilbert Church

Rudolf Steiner
[ 18 ] The spirit self is a revelation of the spiritual world within the “I,” just as from the other side sensations are a revelation of the physical world within the “I.” In what is red, green, light, dark, hard, soft, warm, cold one recognizes the revelations of the corporeal world. In what is true and good are to be found the revelations of the spiritual world.
9. Theosophy (1965): Body, Soul and Spirit
Tr. Mabel Cotterell, Alan P. Shepherd

Rudolf Steiner
[ 18 ] The Spirit-self is a revelation of the spiritual world within the “I,” just as from the other side sensations are a revelation of the physical world within the “I.” In what is red, green, light, dark, hard, soft, warm, cold, one recognises the revelations of the corporeal world; in what is true and good, the revelations of the spiritual world.
282. Speech and Drama: The Forming of Speech is an Art 05 Sep 1924, Dornach
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
He merely replied that he intended following it up with Goethe's Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily; and that if all went well, he would then go on to recite Goethe's poem Die Geheimnisse.
55. Supersensible Knowledge: Richard Wagner and Mysticism 28 Mar 1907, Berlin
Tr. Rita Stebbing

Rudolf Steiner
On Good Friday, 1857, he was sitting in the Retreat, “the sanctuary on the green hill.” Looking out over the fields watching the plants come to life, sprouting from the earth, an inkling arose in him of the Power of the germinating force emerging from the earth in response to the rays of the sun: a driving force, a motivating force that permeates the whole world and lives in all beings; a force that must evolve, that cannot remain as it is; a force that, to reach higher stages, must pass through death.
68a. The Bible and Wisdom 05 Dec 1908, Hanover
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
The plant has no self-consciousness; it has no Ego, hence it is not yet burdened with desires, passions or instincts. Its green beauty is there, chaste and pure. Look at the circulation of the chlorophyl fluid in the plant and then in man at the pulsation of the blood.
