More quotes by Novalis
A complete need should not exist... love, life in common with loved ones?
Novalis
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
Novalis
Play is experimenting with chance.
Novalis
Only an artist can interpret the meaning of life.
Novalis
The world must become romanticized, and in that way we find again its original meaning for us.
Novalis

Novalis
Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
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
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
We are more closely connected to the invisible than to the visible.
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
The artist stands on the human being as a statue does on a pedestal.
Novalis
Philosophy can bake no bread but she can procure for us God, Freedom, Immortality. Which, then, is more practical, Philosophy or Economy?
Novalis
To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.
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
Love is the final end of the world's history, the Amen of the universe.
Novalis
Character and fate are two words for the same thing
Novalis
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.
Novalis
