When one begins to reflect on philosophy—then philosophy seems to us to be everything, like God, and love. It is a mystical, highly potent, penetrating idea—which ceaselessly drives us inward in all directions. The decision to do philosophy—to seek philosophy is the act of self-liberation—the thrust toward ourselves.
NovalisNature is an aeolian harp, a musical instrument whose tones are the re-echo of higher strings within us.
NovalisIt is certain my belief gains quite infinitely the very moment I can convince another mind thereof
