More quotes by Novalis
The world must become romanticized, and in that way we find again its original meaning for us.
Novalis
Hypotheses are nets: only he who casts will catch.
Novalis
The highest purpose of intellectual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self.
Novalis
We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth .
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
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
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
Every disease is a musical problem. Its cure a musical solution. The more rapid and complete the solution, the greater the musical talent of the doctor.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
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
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
The poem of the understanding is 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
Play is experimenting with chance.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
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
