Sunday's Quote of the Day

Friedrich Leopold, Baron von Hardenburg (1772-1801) was a German poet and novelist who published under the name Novalis. Here's a quote attributed to him after his early death:

"The service of philosophy, or speculative culture,
towards the human spirit, is to arouse, to startle
it to a life of constant and eager conservation."
