Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
Image
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Men and women are not free to love decently until they have analyzed themselves completely and swept away every mystery from sex and this means the acquisition of a profound philosophical theory based on wide reading of anthropology and enlightened practice.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Aleister Crowley
Image
All phenomena of which we are aware take place in our own minds, and therefore the only thing we have to look at is the mind which is a more constant quantity over all the species of humanity than is generally supposed.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I've often thought that there isn't any I at all that we are simply the means of expression of something else that when we think we are ourselves, we are simply the victims of a delusion.
Aleister Crowley
Image
For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
Aleister Crowley
Image
He shall fall down into a pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of reason.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Crime, folly, sickness and all phenomena must be contemplated with complete freedom from fear aversion or shame. Otherwise we shall fail to see accurately, and interpret intelligently in which case we shall be unable to outwit and outfight them.
Aleister Crowley
Image
There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Morality can muddle mystical understanding and virtue is only necessary in so far as it favours success. All wisdom must be encompassed in order to achieve enlightenment.
Aleister Crowley
Image
This complaining rambling rubbish is the substitute which has taken the place of love.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I'm a poet, and I like my lies the way my mother used to make them.
Aleister Crowley
Image
It's no good trying to teach people who need to be taught.
Aleister Crowley
Image
It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.
Aleister Crowley
Image
To train the mind to move with the maximum speed and energy, with the utmost possible accuracy in the chosen direction, and with the minimum of disturbance or friction. That is Magick. To stop the mind altogether. That is Yoga.

I have been accused of being a ‘black magician.’ No more foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased and idiotic as to practice it.
