To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.

More quotes by Aleister Crowley
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
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
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
Aleister Crowley
You can only accomplish your object in life by complete disregard of the opinions of other people.
Aleister Crowley
There is no grace: there is no guilt: This is the Law: DO WHAT THOU WILT!
Aleister Crowley
When you have proved that God is merely a name for the sex instinct, it appears to me not far to the perception that the sex instinct is God.
Aleister Crowley
What is it in absinthe that makes it a separate cult? The effects of its abuse are totally distinct from those of other stimulants. Even in ruin and in degradation it remains a thing apart: its victims wear a ghastly aureole all their own, and in their peculiar hell yet gloat with a sinister perversion of pride that they are not as other men.
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
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
Aleister Crowley
Every man and every woman is a star.
Aleister Crowley
I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
Aleister Crowley
Your friends will notice at once that glib vacuities fail to impress, and hate you, and tell lies about you. It's worth it.
Aleister Crowley
It is only necessary to destroy in oneself the roots of those motives which determine a man's course, in order to enjoy the omnipotence and immunity of a god.
Aleister Crowley
There are no standards of Right. Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its own orbit. To hell with moral principle there is no such thing.
Aleister Crowley
Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without.
Aleister Crowley
The Way of Mastery is to break all the rules—but you have to know them perfectly before you can do this otherwise you are not in a position to transcend them.
Aleister Crowley
I will interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with my soul
Aleister Crowley
The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.
Aleister Crowley
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.
Aleister Crowley
