More quotes by Aleister Crowley
It is necessary that we stop, once for all, this ignorant meddling with other people's business. Each individual must be left free to follow his own path.
Aleister Crowley
The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
The Holy Guardian Angel is the spiritual Sun of the Soul of the Adept.
Aleister Crowley
To the eyes of a god, mankind must appear as a species of bacteria which multiply and become progressively virulent whenever they find themselves in a congenial culture, and whose activity diminishes until they disappear completely as soon as proper measures are taken to sterilize them.
Aleister Crowley
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
Aleister Crowley
To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.
Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
Man has the right . . . to play as he will . . . to think what he will: to speak what he will: to write what he will: to draw, paint, carve, etch, mould, build as he will: to dress as he will.
Aleister Crowley
Must not understanding lie open unto wisdom as the pyramids lie open to the stars? (6:2)
Aleister Crowley
I'm a poet, and I like my lies the way my mother used to make them.
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
Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions': a rebel. If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have --- Greatness.
Aleister Crowley
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
Aleister Crowley
Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.
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 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
The first task of the Magician in every ceremony is therefore to render his Circle absolutely impregnable.
Aleister Crowley
If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.
