More quotes by Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
Novalis
The art of writing books is not yet invented. But it is at the point of being invented. Fragments of this nature are literary seeds. There may be many an infertile grain among them: nevertheless, if only some come up!
Novalis
To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
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
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
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
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
Novalis
Every disease is a musical problem. Its cure a musical solution. The more rapid and complete the solution, the greater the musical talent of the doctor.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
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
We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!
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
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
Character is a perfectly educated will.
Novalis
Nature is a petrified magic city.
Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
Novalis
The brains -the thinking organs- are the world producers -nature's genitals.
Novalis
