More quotes by Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
Many books are longer than they seem. They have indeed no end. The boredom that they cause is truly absolute and infinite.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
I was still blind, but twinkling stars did dance Throughout my being's limitless expanse, Nothing had yet drawn close, only at distant stages I found myself, a mere suggestion sensed in past and future ages.
Novalis
Life is the beginning of death. Life is for the sake of death. Death is at once the end and the beginning—at once separation and closer union of the self. Through death the reduction is complete.
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
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
The poem of the understanding is philosophy.
Novalis
Character and fate are two words for the same thing
Novalis
Perceptibility is a kind of attentiveness.
Novalis
The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.
Novalis
We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!
Novalis
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
There is an energy which springs from sickness and debility: it has a more powerful effect than the real, but, sadly, expires in an even greater infirmity.
Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
Novalis
