Novalis
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
Novalis

Novalis

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
Every beloved object is the center point of a paradise.
Novalis
Many books are longer than they seem. They have indeed no end. The boredom that they cause is truly absolute and infinite.
