Novalis said this quote

“ How can a person have a sense of something if he does not have the germ of it within himself. What I am to understand must develop organically within me--and what I seem to learn is only nourishment--stimulation of the organism. ”

Philosophy is really nostalgia, the desire to be at home.

~ Novalis

Sometimes with the most intense pain a paralysis of sensibility occurs. The soul disintegrates--hence the deadly frost--the free power of the mind--the shattering, ceaseless wit of this kind of despair. There is no inclination for anything any more--the person is alone, like a baleful power--as he has no connection with the rest of the world he consumes himself gradually--and in accordance with his own principle he is--misanthropic and misotheos.

~ Novalis

Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.

~ Novalis

Life must not be a novel that is given to us, but one that is made by us.

~ Novalis
