[Paraphrased] Wisdom is crystallized pain. Public speech by Rudolf Steiner, Berlin, German 25. October 1906, presented by the publication Steinerquellen, August 2008
A truth which comes to us from outside always bears the stamp of uncertainty. We can believe only what appears to each one of us in our hearts. […]

perience everything in the depths of its inner being. The only knowledge which satisfies us is one which is subject to
no external standards but springs from the inner life of the personality.Rudolf Steiner, The Philosophy of Freedom, “Preface”, S. 27-28, German original, 1894, revised ediition 1918
