Famous quotes containing the words united and/or spirits:
“Before abstraction everything is one, but one like chaos; after abstraction everything is united again, but this union is a free binding of autonomous, self-determined beings. Out of a mob a society has developed, chaos has been transformed into a manifold world.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“My spirits infallibly rise in proportion to the outward dreariness. Give me the ocean, the desert, or the wilderness!”
