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
Magic is real. And reality... it is magical.
Aleister Crowley
The best models of English writing are Shakespeare and the Old Testament.
Aleister Crowley
Light, Life and Love are like three glow-worms at thy feet: the whole universe of stars, the dewdrops on the grass whereon thou walkest!
Aleister Crowley
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
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
Anything which throws light upon the Universe, anything which reveals us to ourselves, should be welcome in this world of riddles.
Aleister Crowley
The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without.
Aleister Crowley
It is the mark of the mind untrained to take its own processes as valid for all men, and its own judgments for absolute truth.
Aleister Crowley
The nails from a suicide's coffin, and the skull of the parricide, were of course no trouble for Vesquit never traveled without these household requisites.
Aleister Crowley
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.
Aleister Crowley
This formula of Love is universal all the laws of Nature are its servitors. Thus, gravitation, chemical affinity, electrical potential, and the rest - and these are alike mere aspects of the general law - are so many differently-observed statements of the unique tendency.
Aleister Crowley
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
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
This Universe is a wild revel of atoms, men, and stars, each one a Soul of Light and Mirth, horsed on Eternity.
Aleister Crowley
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
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
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
Invoke often! Inflame thyself with prayer!
Aleister Crowley
I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
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
