More quotes by Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
Novalis
The mysterious path goes inward. It is in us, and not anywhere else, where the eternity of the worlds, the past and the future are found.
Novalis
Humanity is a comic role.
Novalis
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
The world must become romanticized, and in that way we find again its original meaning for us.
Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
Novalis
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
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
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
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
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
Novalis
Many books are longer than they seem. They have indeed no end. The boredom that they cause is truly absolute and infinite.
Novalis
I was still blind, but twinkling stars did dance Throughout my being's limitless expanse, Nothing had yet drawn close, only at distant stages I found myself, a mere suggestion sensed in past and future ages.
Novalis
Philosophy can bake no bread but she can procure for us God, Freedom, Immortality. Which, then, is more practical, Philosophy or Economy?
Novalis
