I was in the death struggle with self: God and Satan fought for my soul those three long hours. God conquered — now I have only one doubt left — which of the twain was God?

More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
Aleister Crowley
Chinese civilisation is so systematic that wild animals have been abolished on principle.
Aleister Crowley
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.
Aleister Crowley
To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.
Aleister Crowley
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
Aleister Crowley
Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.
Aleister Crowley
Invoke often! Inflame thyself with prayer!
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
Magick is the Art of Life itself.
Aleister Crowley
Black magic is not a myth. It is a totally unscientific and emotional form of magic, but it does get results — of an extremely temporary nature.
Aleister Crowley
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
I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
Aleister Crowley
Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
Aleister Crowley
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
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
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
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
A white male child of perfect innocence and intelligence makes the most suitable victim.
Aleister Crowley
There is no grace: there is no guilt: This is the Law: DO WHAT THOU WILT!
Aleister Crowley
Imagine listening to Beethoven with the prepossession that C is a good note and F a bad one yet this is exactly the stand point from which all uninitiates contemplate the universe. Obviously, they miss the music.
Aleister Crowley
