More quotes by Novalis
What delights, what pleasures does your life offer you that outweigh the raptures of death?
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis

Novalis
The highest purpose of intellectual cultivation is to give a man a perfect knowledge and mastery of his own inner self.
Novalis
To know a truth well, one must have fought it out.
