More quotes by Aleister Crowley

Image
What is it in absinthe that makes it a separate cult? The effects of its abuse are totally distinct from those of other stimulants.

Must not understanding lie open unto wisdom as the pyramids lie open to the stars? (6:2)
Aleister Crowley

Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.
Aleister Crowley
Image
To train the mind to move with the maximum speed and energy, with the utmost possible accuracy in the chosen direction, and with the minimum of disturbance or friction. That is Magick. To stop the mind altogether. That is Yoga.

For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
