More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Astrology has no more useful function than this, to discover the inmost nature of a man and to bring it out into his consciousness, that he may fulfil it according to the law of light.
Aleister Crowley
Practically, Science is true and Faith is foolish.
Aleister Crowley
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley
Every one interprets everything in terms of his own experience. If you say anything which does not touch a precisely similar spot in another man's brain, he either misunderstands you, or doesn't understand you at all.
Aleister Crowley
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
Aleister Crowley
I was asked to memorise what I did not understand and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.
Aleister Crowley
Their false compassion is called compassion and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.
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
This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil He bade 'Know Thyself!' and taught Initiation.
Aleister Crowley
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.
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
The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Aleister Crowley
To me, every dirty act was simply a sacrament of sin, a passionately religious protest against Christianity, which was for me the symbol of all vileness, meanness, treachery, falsehood and oppression.
Aleister Crowley
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley
To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.
Aleister Crowley
Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.
Aleister Crowley
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
Aleister Crowley
Light, Life and Love are like three glow-worms at thy feet: the whole universe of stars, the dewdrops on the grass whereon thou walkest!
Aleister Crowley
Further, an excess of legislation defeats its own ends. It makes the whole population criminals, and turns them all into police and police spies. The moral health of such a people is ruined for ever only revolution can save it.
Aleister Crowley
