More quotes by Novalis
Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet.
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
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
All the events of our life are materials of which we can make what we will.
Novalis
The history of every individual man should be a Bible.
Novalis
Many books are longer than they seem. They have indeed no end. The boredom that they cause is truly absolute and infinite.
Novalis
Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
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
In cheerful souls there is no wit. Wit shows a disturbance of the equipoise.
Novalis
Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.
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
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
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
A complete need should not exist... love, life in common with loved ones?
Novalis
Only the most perfect human being can design the most perfect philosophy.
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
Mathematics is the Life of the Gods.
Novalis
The world must be romanticized. In this way the originary meaning may be found again.
Novalis
To know a truth well, one must have fought it out.
Novalis
