More quotes by Novalis
Perceptibility is a kind of attentiveness.
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
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
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
The poem of the understanding is philosophy.
Novalis
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
Novalis
The individual soul should seek for an intimate union with the soul of the universe.
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
Novalis
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy. To pray is to make religion.
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
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
Philosophy can bake no bread but she can procure for us God, Freedom, Immortality. Which, then, is more practical, Philosophy or Economy?
Novalis
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
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
We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!
Novalis
Hypotheses are nets: only he who casts will catch.
Novalis
Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.
Novalis
