Aleister Crowley
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
Aleister Crowley
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
Aleister Crowley
Every intentional act is a magical act.
Aleister Crowley
We place no reliance On virgin or pigeon Our Method is Science, Our Aim is Religion.
Aleister Crowley
The intention of this Book of The Law is perfectly simple. Whatever your sexual predilections may be, you are free, by the Law of Thelema, to the the star you are, to go your own way rejoicing.
Aleister Crowley
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley
