More quotes by Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
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
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
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis

Novalis

Novalis

Novalis
Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.

Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
Novalis
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
Novalis
We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth .
