Novalis
Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.
Novalis

Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
When one begins to reflect on philosophy—then philosophy seems to us to be everything, like God, and love. It is a mystical, highly potent, penetrating idea—which ceaselessly drives us inward in all directions. The decision to do philosophy—to seek philosophy is the act of self-liberation—the thrust toward ourselves.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
