I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
Aleister Crowley
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.

Every incarnation that we remember must increase our comprehension of ourselves as who we are.
Aleister Crowley
Image
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
Aleister Crowley
