Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis

Novalis
Humanity is a comic role.
Novalis

Novalis

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 poem of the understanding is philosophy.
Novalis
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
Novalis

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
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth .
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
