Novalis Mind Quotations

It is certain my belief gains quite infinitely the very moment I can convince another mind thereof

Building worlds is not enough for the deeper urging mind; but a loving heart sates the striving spirit.

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.
