Aleister Crowley
Image
I was in the death struggle with self: God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours. God conquered — now I have only one doubt left — which of the twain was God?
Aleister Crowley
Image
The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Love is a virtue it grows stronger and purer and less selfish by applying it to what it loathes but theft is a vice involving the slave-idea that one's neighbor is superior to oneself.
Aleister Crowley
Image
To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind or, if not, should never be published at all.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
