Additional quotes by Novalis

All the chance events of our lives are materials from which we can make what we like. Whoever is rich in spirit makes much of his life. Every acquaintance, every incident would be for the thoroughly spiritual person — the first element in an endless series — the beginning of an endless novel.

Актът на надскачане на себе си е навсякъде най-висшият, изначалният момент, генезисът на живота... Така всяка философия започва там, където философстващият философства себе си, т.е. едновременно разгражда себе си... и се самообновява... Така всяка жива моралност започва с това, че от добродетелност извършвам нещо против добродетелта; с това започва животът на добродетелта, чрез който капацитетът ѝ нараства до безкрайност.
