“To romanticize the world is to make us aware of the magic, mystery and wonder of the world; it is to educate the senses to see the ordinary as extraordinary, the familiar as strange, the mundane as sacred, the finite as infinite.”
― Novalis

“Philosophy is really homesickness: the urge to be at home everywhere.”
― Novalis

“Life is a poem
just waiting to be written,
lift your pen and speak.”
― Susie Clevenger, Dirt Road Dreams

“While the poets were above all interested in the fluid and fugitive aspects of Nature, others desired, by slogging away with a hatchet and pickax, to discover the interior structure of Nature and the relationship between the separate morsels. The spirit of our friend Nature dissolved in their hands, leaving nothing but throbbing or dead parts.”
― Novalis
