More quotes by Novalis
A hero is one who knows how to hang on one minute longer.
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
Hypotheses are nets: only he who casts will catch.
Novalis
To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.
Novalis
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
Novalis
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis
Humanity is a comic role.
Novalis

Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
Novalis
Philosophy can bake no bread but she can procure for us God, Freedom, Immortality. Which, then, is more practical, Philosophy or Economy?

Novalis

Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
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
