Aleister Crowley
The nails from a suicide's coffin, and the skull of the parricide, were of course no trouble for Vesquit never traveled without these household requisites.
Aleister Crowley
This Universe is a wild revel of atoms, men, and stars, each one a Soul of Light and Mirth, horsed on Eternity.
Aleister Crowley
Your friends will notice at once that glib vacuities fail to impress, and hate you, and tell lies about you. It's worth it.
Aleister Crowley
Here again, there is no tabulation for us it is left to sacrifice literary charm, and even some accuracy, in order to bring out the one great point. The cause of human sectarianism is not lack of sympathy in thought, but in speech and this it is our not unambitious design to remedy.
Aleister Crowley
The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.

Aleister Crowley
I can imagine myself on my death-bed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman.
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
The average man cannot believe that an artist may be as serious and highminded an observer of life as the professed man of science.
Aleister Crowley
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.
Aleister Crowley
I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
Aleister Crowley
Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
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.
Aleister Crowley
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
