More quotes by Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
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
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
Play is experimenting with chance.
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis

Novalis
Humanity is a comic role.
Novalis
The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.
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
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
Novalis
Character and fate are two words for the same thing
Novalis
We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!
Novalis
