More quotes by Aleister Crowley
We must conquer life by living it to the full, and then we can go to meet death with a certain prestige.
Aleister Crowley
Your friends will notice at once that glib vacuities fail to impress, and hate you, and tell lies about you. It's worth it.
Aleister Crowley
Must not understanding lie open unto wisdom as the pyramids lie open to the stars? (6:2)
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
How right politicians are to look upon their constituents as cattle! Anyone who has any experience of dealing with any class as such knows the futility of appealing to intelligence, indeed to any other qualities than those of brutes.
Aleister Crowley
Those magicians who object to the use of blood, have endeavored to replace it with incense. But, the bloody sacrifice, though more dangerous, is more efficacious. And for nearly all purposes, human sacrifice is the best.
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
Unspeakable is the variety of form and immeasurable the diversity of beauty, but in all is the seal of unity.
Aleister Crowley
The best models of English writing are Shakespeare and the Old Testament.
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
Practically, Science is true and Faith is foolish.
Aleister Crowley
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
Aleister Crowley
I am alone. There is no God where I am.
Aleister Crowley
I've often thought that there isn't any I at all that we are simply the means of expression of something else that when we think we are ourselves, we are simply the victims of a delusion.
Aleister Crowley
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
Aleister Crowley
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
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley
It is the mark of the mind untrained to take its own processes as valid for all men, and its own judgments for absolute truth.
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
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
