More quotes by Aleister Crowley

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

Aleister Crowley

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

Aleister Crowley
Adaptation to one's environment makes for a sort of survival but after all, the supreme victory is only won by those who prove themselves of so much hardier stuff than the rest that no power on earth is able to destroy them. The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Aleister Crowley

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
Every intentional act is a magical act.
Aleister Crowley
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
Aleister Crowley
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
Unspeakable is the variety of form and immeasurable the diversity of beauty, but in all is the seal of unity.
Aleister Crowley
The Quest of the Holy Grail, the Search for the Stone of the Philosophers-by whatever name we choose to call the Great Work-is therefore endless. Success only opens up new avenues of brilliant possibility.
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
Intolerance is evidence of impotence.
Aleister Crowley
Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
Aleister Crowley
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.
Aleister Crowley
