May the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue, so that I triumph even when I fall!

More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Sanity is a compromise.
Aleister Crowley
Every incarnation that we remember must increase our comprehension of ourselves as who we are.
Aleister Crowley
The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.
Aleister Crowley
There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
Aleister Crowley
Chinese civilisation is so systematic that wild animals have been abolished on principle.
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
Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.
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
To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind or, if not, should never be published at all. A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honorable to which a man can be called?
Aleister Crowley
The best models of English writing are Shakespeare and the Old Testament.
Aleister Crowley
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Aleister Crowley
Alas the Master so he sinks in death. But whoso knows the mystery of man Sees life and death as curves of the same plan
Aleister Crowley
Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
Aleister Crowley
It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one's environment.
Aleister Crowley
As soon as you put men together, they somehow sink, corporatively, below the level of the worst of the individuals composing it. Collect scholars on a club committee, or men of science on a jury all their virtues vanish, and their vices pop out, reinforced by the self-confidence which the power of numbers is bound to bestow.
Aleister Crowley
I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.
Aleister Crowley
There are hardly half a dozen writers in England today who have not sold out to the enemy. Even when their good work has been a success, Mammon grips them and whispers: More money for more work.
Aleister Crowley
We must conquer life by living it to the full, and then we can go to meet death with a certain prestige.
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
Happiness lies within one's self, and the way to dig it out is cocaine.
Aleister Crowley
