More quotes by Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
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
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.
Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.
Novalis
Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.
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
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
To know a truth well, one must have fought it out.
Novalis
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
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
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
