Novalis' lines were intriguing yet simplistic. "We are close to waking up when we dream that we are dreaming," is a perfect example displaying simplicity. It is a thought provoking statement that makes complete sense. I notice that it is quite common, at least for me, that when I know I am dreaming I wake up not far after. This might not make sense to some people but when you dream that you are dreaming, the mind is actually consciously aware that you are, in fact, dreaming.
Another line I enjoyed is "When you understand how to love one thing--then you also understand how best to love everything." I particularly liked this line because I feel it is a true and compelling statement. When you read about love in literature or even in behavioral science, the person in love tends to show compassion for all other things, and even a lack of angst against hated ones.
