ROOTS OF VIOLENCE

In “Drawing and Painting in Rudolf Steiner
Schools” by Margrit Junemann and Fritz Weitmann
on pages 183 1nd 184.  Note from Munich,17.2.1918
GA 271.
The following quote from Rudolf Steiner is found;
"The child is confronted today with things devoid
of a pictorial element, the young person, on the
other hand, possesses forces in his body….that will
burst out everywhere if they are not brought to the
surface in pictorial representation.  What will be
the result of modern mistaken education?  These
forces do not become lost; they spread out, gain
existential ground, and invade the thoughts, feel-
ings and will impulses.  And what kind of people will
come into being from that?  They will be rebels, revo-
lutionaries, dissatisfied people; people who do not
know what they want, because they want something
that one cannot know."
