More quotes by Novalis
Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.
Novalis
Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.
Novalis
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
Novalis
Man is a sun and his senses are the planets.
Novalis
We are on a mission: we are called to the cultivation of the earth .
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
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
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
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
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
Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.
Novalis
Everywhere we seek the Absolute, and always we find only things.
Novalis
We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body!
Novalis
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis
Philosophy can bake no bread but she can procure for us God, Freedom, Immortality. Which, then, is more practical, Philosophy or Economy?
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
Novalis
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
Novalis
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
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
