More quotes by 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
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
The poem of the understanding is philosophy.
Novalis
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
Novalis

Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.
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 know a truth well, one must have fought it out.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
Novalis
