Additional quotes by Novalis

Though the heroes and their fates are inventions, yet the spirit in which they are composed is true and natural.

To romanticize the world is to make us aware of the magic, mystery and wonder of the world; it is to educate the senses to see the ordinary as extraordinary, the familiar as strange, the mundane as sacred, the finite as infinite.

Die Liebe wirkt magisch. Sie ist der Endzweck der Weltgeschichte, das Amen des Universums.

Through incompleteness one becomes susceptible to other influences, and to assimilate those strange influences is the aim. - Novalis
