More quotes by Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
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
Play is experimenting with chance.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
The poem of the understanding is philosophy.
Novalis
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.
Novalis
We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth .
Novalis
Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
Novalis
The highest purpose of intellectual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
The world must become romanticized, and in that way we find again its original meaning for us.
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 become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.
Novalis
Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
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
