174b. The Spiritual Background of Human History: Ninth Lecture 11 May 1917, Stuttgart

Rudolf Steiner
Now, when speculating on the most blatant ignorance and on the will to the most blatant ignorance, people can, of course, be told all kinds of beautiful fairy tales: that one has turned green and blue, especially in the legs, by following such principles. And for those who want to make something esoteric out of thin air, these things can, of course, be used as slander.
336. The Big Questions of our Time and Anthroposophical Spiritual Knowledge: The Supernatural Essence of Man and the Development of Humanity 26 Jul 1919, Mannheim

Rudolf Steiner
Nature is constantly making leaps. Look at a growing plant: the green leaf makes the leap to the colored petal, to the stamens, to the pistil and so on in further growth.
68b. The Circular Flow of Man's Life within the World Of Sense, Soul And Spirit: The Wrath of Zeus. The Chained Prometheus 21 Oct 1909, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
The person who, from the point of view of spiritual science, looks at what passes through the ages as legends and myths of the peoples, as a transmission of the peoples, makes a remarkable discovery in his soul. What might be called the “science of the green table” can answer when you ask where this or that myth comes from: “That is folk poetry.” Only someone who is unfamiliar with folk poetry can speak of folk poetry in this way.
289. The Ideas Behind the Building of the Goetheanum: The Idea of Building in Dornach 28 Feb 1921, The Hague

Rudolf Steiner
Here on the side windows (Fig. 4, 12) you can see the same motif, on the windows of the side wing (Fig. 13) too, apparently no longer similar, but nevertheless the same metamorphosed, just as the motif of the green leaf reappears in the flower petal. Figure 4 Figure 12 If you look at the building from the inside and the outside, you can get the impression: If any motif is near the gate, it is worked differently, so that you can see that the motif has less to bear against the gate, while it has to brace itself against the whole weight of the building.
282. Speech and Drama: Some Practical Illustrations of the Forming of Speech 11 Sep 1924, Dornach
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
Yellow—grey—no indeed, what shall I say? Grey-green, to be exact, with deep-set eyes And stubborn brow—a simple, little man, Nothing compared with Danton!
282. Speech and Drama: Style in Gesture 13 Sep 1924, Dornach
Tr. Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
I love this Belriguardo; in my youth Full many a joyous day I linger'd here, And this bright sunshine, and this verdant green, Bring back the feelings of that bygone time. LEONORA Yes, a new world surrounds us!
58. Metamorphoses of the Soul: Paths of Experience I: Human Egoism 25 Nov 1909, Berlin
Tr. Charles Davy, Christoph von Arnim

Rudolf Steiner
If we find in a writer an exposition of a problem so important for Spiritual Science, this is for us a further proof—already apparent in our considerations of Faust, the Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, and Pandora53—that in Goethe we have a genius who is at one with our Spiritual Science in its true sense.
72. The Human Soul in the Realm of the Supersensible and Its Relation to the Body 18 Oct 1917, Basel

Rudolf Steiner
To grasp the mental as something living, one has to grasp the mental, now, however, the spiritual-mental, in such a way as Goethe tried to grasp the outer physical things with his theory of metamorphosis, as Goethe imagined the green leaves of the stalk transformed into the petals, even into the fruit organs. As he attempted to explain all organs by a transformation into each other, one must not only leave thinking, feeling, and willing side by side, but also gain the living transition of them.
159. The Mystery of Death: Christ's Relationship to Lucifer and Ahriman 18 May 1915, Linz
Tr. Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Since most inaccurate is the saying which the external science has stamped: nature does not make jumps.1—From the green plant leaf to the red petal is a big jump; from the petal to the chalices is again a big jump. It is an absolutely wrong saying, and the truth of the development is based just on the fact that everywhere jumps are made.
224. Pneumatosophy: The Riddles of the Inner Man 23 May 1923, Bern
Tr. Frances E. Dawson

Rudolf Steiner
We are then approaching the autumn, September is coming, the autumnal equinox; the leaves which in the spring became budding and green, now become brownish, yellowish, and drop off; the trees stand there already partly denuded, nature is dying.
