More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
Aleister Crowley
Sit still. Stop thinking. Shut up. Get out! The first two of these instructions comprise the whole of the technique of Yoga. The last two are of a sublimity which it would be improper to expound in this present elementary stage.
Aleister Crowley
Intolerance is evidence of impotence.
Aleister Crowley
A white male child of perfect innocence and intelligence makes the most suitable victim.
Aleister Crowley
The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without.
Aleister Crowley
The student, if he attains any success in the following practices, will find himself confronted by things too glorious or dreadful to be described. It is essential that he remain the master of all he beholds, hears or conceives otherwise he will be the slave of illusion, and the prey of madness.
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
30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops an does naught. 31. If power asks why, then power is weakness.
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
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
It will be seen that the formula - 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations.
Aleister Crowley
He shall fall down into a pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of reason.
Aleister Crowley
The Holy Guardian Angel is the spiritual Sun of the Soul of the Adept.
Aleister Crowley
For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
Aleister Crowley
The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.
Aleister Crowley
What is it in absinthe that makes it a separate cult? The effects of its abuse are totally distinct from those of other stimulants. Even in ruin and in degradation it remains a thing apart: its victims wear a ghastly aureole all their own, and in their peculiar hell yet gloat with a sinister perversion of pride that they are not as other men.
Aleister Crowley
Magic is real. And reality... it is magical.
Aleister Crowley
Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action.
Aleister Crowley
There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
Aleister Crowley
