More quotes by 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
It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one's environment.
Aleister Crowley
Their false compassion is called compassion and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.
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
Adaptation to one's environment makes for a sort of survival but after all, the supreme victory is only won by those who prove themselves of so much hardier stuff than the rest that no power on earth is able to destroy them. The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
Aleister Crowley
I will interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with my soul
Aleister Crowley
The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.
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
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
There is a single main definition of the object of all magical Ritual. It is the uniting of the Microcosm with the Macrocosm. The Supreme and Complete Ritual is therefore the Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel or, in the language of Mysticism, Union with God.
Aleister Crowley
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
Aleister Crowley
All phenomena of which we are aware take place in our own minds, and therefore the only thing we have to look at is the mind which is a more constant quantity over all the species of humanity than is generally supposed.
Aleister Crowley
Acts which are essentially dishonourable must not be done they would be justified only by calm contemplation of their correctness in abstract cases.
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
The 'lords of the earth' are those who are doing their Will. It does not necessarily mean people with coronets and automobiles there are plenty of such people who are the most sorrowful slaves in the world. The sole test of one's lordship is to know what one's true Will is, and to do it.
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
Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations
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
The customer is usually wrong, but statistics indicate that it doesn't pay to tell him so
Aleister Crowley
I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
Aleister Crowley
