More quotes by Novalis
Friendship, love, and piety ought to be handled with a sort of mysterious secrecy they ought to be spoken of only in the rare moments of perfect confidence, to be mutually understood in silence. Many things are too delicate to be thought many more, to be spoken.
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
Novalis
The world must become romanticized, and in that way we find again its original meaning for us.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Philosophy can bake no bread but she can procure for us God, Freedom, Immortality. Which, then, is more practical, Philosophy or Economy?
Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
Many books are longer than they seem. They have indeed no end. The boredom that they cause is truly absolute and infinite.
Novalis
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
Novalis
The art of writing books is not yet invented. But it is at the point of being invented. Fragments of this nature are literary seeds. There may be many an infertile grain among them: nevertheless, if only some come up!
Novalis
A complete need should not exist... love, life in common with loved ones?
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
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
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
Novalis
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
Novalis
We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth .
Novalis
Perceptibility is a kind of attentiveness.
Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
Humanity is a comic role.
Novalis
Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
Novalis
