Perceptibility is a kind of attentiveness.
Novalis
Hypotheses are nets: only he who casts will catch.
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
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.

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
