More quotes by Novalis
Play is experimenting with chance.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
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
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
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
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
Novalis

Novalis

Novalis
We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
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
The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
