More quotes by Aleister Crowley
To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.
Aleister Crowley
If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.
Aleister Crowley
It will be seen that the formula - 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations.
Aleister Crowley
When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one's physical powers and the character of the country one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual.
Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
Having to talk destroys the symphony of silence.
Aleister Crowley
Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.
Aleister Crowley
I am alone. There is no God where I am.
Aleister Crowley
I hardly ever talk- words seem such a waste, and they are none of them true. No one has yet invented a language from my point of view.
Aleister Crowley
I am inclined to agree with the Head Master of Eton that pæderastic passions among schoolboys 'do no harm' further, I think them the only redeeming feature of sexual life at public schools.
Aleister Crowley
Love is the law, love under will.
Aleister Crowley
We must conquer life by living it to the full, and then we can go to meet death with a certain prestige.
Aleister Crowley
It's no good trying to teach people who need to be taught.
Aleister Crowley
