Poetry Quote by Novalis — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

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

“Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.”

“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.”

“Life is the beginning of death. Life is for the sake of death. Death is at once the end and the beginning—at once separation and closer union of the self. Through death the reduction is complete”

“And the testicles of the fathers hang down like old lace”

“A man walks into a bar and says:”

“Venus Transiens”

“What is madness but nobility of the soul at odds with circumstance.”

“The artist’s artistic brush stroke”

“And death shall have no dominion.”
