More quotes by Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
The 'lords of the earth' are those who are doing their Will. It does not necessarily mean people with coronets and automobiles there are plenty of such people who are the most sorrowful slaves in the world. The sole test of one's lordship is to know what one's true Will is, and to do it.

Aleister Crowley
Anything which throws light upon the Universe, anything which reveals us to ourselves, should be welcome in this world of riddles.
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
Astrology has no more useful function than this, to discover the inmost nature of a man and to bring it out into his consciousness, that he may fulfil it according to the law of light.
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
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
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.
Aleister Crowley
Their false compassion is called compassion and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.
Aleister Crowley
Practically, Science is true and Faith is foolish.
