Image
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
Image
It would be unwise to condemn as irrational the practice of devouring the heart and liver of an adversary while yet warm. For the highest spiritual working one must choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
Image
When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one's physical powers and the character of the country one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage point from which to view the world.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Every intentional act is a magical act.
Aleister Crowley

Having to talk destroys the symphony of silence.

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
Image
Must not understanding lie open unto wisdom as the pyramids lie open to the stars? (6:2)
Aleister Crowley
Image
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley

The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A burnt child dreads the fire.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.
Aleister Crowley
Image
For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
Aleister Crowley
Image
There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Here again, there is no tabulation for us it is left to sacrifice literary charm, and even some accuracy, in order to bring out the one great point. The cause of human sectarianism is not lack of sympathy in thought, but in speech and this it is our not unambitious design to remedy.
Aleister Crowley

The Holy Guardian Angel is the spiritual Sun of the Soul of the Adept.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Men and women are not free to love decently until they have analyzed themselves completely and swept away every mystery from sex and this means the acquisition of a profound philosophical theory based on wide reading of anthropology and enlightened practice.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Fortunately we have learnt to combine these ideas, not in the mutual toleration of sub-contraries, but in the affirmation of contraries, that transcending of the laws of intellect which is madness in the ordinary man, genius in the Overman who hath arrived to strike off more fetters from our understanding.
