Aleister Crowley
Image
There is only one really safe, mild, harmless beverage and you can drink as much of that as you like without running the slightest risk, and what you say when you want it is, 'Garcon! Un Pernod!'
Aleister Crowley
Image
He shall fall down into a pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of reason.
Aleister Crowley

Must not understanding lie open unto wisdom as the pyramids lie open to the stars? (6:2)
Aleister Crowley
Image
Ever man is eternally alone. But when you get mixed up with a fairly decent crowd, you forget that appalling fact for long enough to give your brain time to recover from the acute symptoms of its disease - that of thinking.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I have been accused of being a ‘black magician.’ No more foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased and idiotic as to practice it.
