Additional quotes by Novalis
That which the external world perceives as quite motionless has the appearance of being quite at rest. However much it may change, in relation to the external world it always stays at rest. This principle governs all self-modifications. That is why the beautiful appears so much at rest. Everything beautiful is a self-illuminated, perfect individual.
A criminal cannot complain about wrongs done him because one treats him harshly and inhumanely. His offense was an entry into the realm of violence, power and tyranny. There is no restraint and proportion in that realm,
and therefore he should not be surprised at the disproportion of its counter-reaction.
