More quotes by Novalis
The highest purpose of intellectual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self.
Novalis
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
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
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
Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.
Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
Novalis
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
The mysterious path goes inward. It is in us, and not anywhere else, where the eternity of the worlds, the past and the future are found.
Novalis
Perceptibility is a kind of attentiveness.
Novalis
Character and fate are two words for the same thing
Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
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
If the world is a precipitation of human nature, so to speak, then the divine world is a sublimation of the same. Both occur in one act. No precipitation without sublimation. What goes lost there in agility, is won here.
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
Novalis
