More quotes by Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
Novalis
Friendship, love, and piety ought to be handled with a sort of mysterious secrecy they ought to be spoken of only in the rare moments of perfect confidence, to be mutually understood in silence. Many things are too delicate to be thought many more, to be spoken.
Novalis
To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
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
The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.
Novalis

Novalis
There is an energy which springs from sickness and debility: it has a more powerful effect than the real, but, sadly, expires in an even greater infirmity.
Novalis
A complete need should not exist... love, life in common with loved ones?
Novalis
I was still blind, but twinkling stars did dance Throughout my being's limitless expanse, Nothing had yet drawn close, only at distant stages I found myself, a mere suggestion sensed in past and future ages.
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis
Play is experimenting with chance.
Novalis
