More quotes by Aleister Crowley
The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.
Aleister Crowley
To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.
Aleister Crowley
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
Black magic is not a myth. It is a totally unscientific and emotional form of magic, but it does get results — of an extremely temporary nature.
Aleister Crowley
Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.
Aleister Crowley
The key of joy is disobedience.
Aleister Crowley
There is a single main definition of the object of all magical Ritual. It is the uniting of the Microcosm with the Macrocosm. The Supreme and Complete Ritual is therefore the Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel or, in the language of Mysticism, Union with God.
Aleister Crowley
I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
Aleister Crowley
Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations
Aleister Crowley
The most delicious sensation of all is the re-birth of healthy human love. Spring coming back to Earth!
Aleister Crowley
Don't talk for five minutes, there's a good chap! I've a strange feeling come over me--almost as if I were going to think!
Aleister Crowley
What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over.
Aleister Crowley
Fortunately we have learnt to combine these ideas, not in the mutual toleration of sub-contraries, but in the affirmation of contraries, that transcending of the laws of intellect which is madness in the ordinary man, genius in the Overman who hath arrived to strike off more fetters from our understanding.
Aleister Crowley
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
Aleister Crowley
You can only accomplish your object in life by complete disregard of the opinions of other people.
Aleister Crowley
The two seem, at first glance, to be opposed, but when you have advanced a little in both, you find that concentration learned in Yoga is of immense use in attaining the mental powers necessary in Magick on the other hand, the discipline of Magick is of the greatest service in Yoga.
Aleister Crowley
What is necessary is not to seek after some fantastic ideal, utterly unsuited to our real needs, but to discover the true nature of those needs, to fulfill them, and rejoice therein.
Aleister Crowley
Those magicians who object to the use of blood, have endeavored to replace it with incense. But, the bloody sacrifice, though more dangerous, is more efficacious. And for nearly all purposes, human sacrifice is the best.
Aleister Crowley
The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without.
Aleister Crowley
There are hardly half a dozen writers in England today who have not sold out to the enemy. Even when their good work has been a success, Mammon grips them and whispers: More money for more work.
