More quotes by Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
Character and fate are two words for the same thing
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
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
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
Humanity is a comic role.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
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
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 artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
The poem of the understanding is philosophy.
Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.
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
To know a truth well, one must have fought it out.
Novalis
Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.
Novalis
Hypotheses are nets: only he who casts will catch.
Novalis
Many books are longer than they seem. They have indeed no end. The boredom that they cause is truly absolute and infinite.
Novalis
