More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Their false compassion is called compassion and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.
Aleister Crowley
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley
It will be seen that the formula - 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations.
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
It is only necessary to destroy in oneself the roots of those motives which determine a man's course, in order to enjoy the omnipotence and immunity of a god.
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
I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.
Aleister Crowley
I will interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with my soul
Aleister Crowley
There are no standards of Right. Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its own orbit. To hell with moral principle there is no such thing.
Aleister Crowley
I hardly ever talk- words seem such a waste, and they are none of them true. No one has yet invented a language from my point of view.
Aleister Crowley
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA .
Aleister Crowley
I am certainly of opinion that genius can be acquired, or, in the alternative, that it is an almost universal possession.
Aleister Crowley
Unspeakable is the variety of form and immeasurable the diversity of beauty, but in all is the seal of unity.
Aleister Crowley
I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
Aleister Crowley
Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.
Aleister Crowley
The Quest of the Holy Grail, the Search for the Stone of the Philosophers-by whatever name we choose to call the Great Work-is therefore endless. Success only opens up new avenues of brilliant possibility.
Aleister Crowley
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
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
Having to talk destroys the symphony of silence.
Aleister Crowley
