Ever man is eternally alone. But when you get mixed up with a fairly decent crowd, you forget that appalling fact for long enough to give your brain time to recover from the acute symptoms of its disease - that of thinking.

More quotes by Aleister Crowley
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
Aleister Crowley
I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
Aleister Crowley
I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA .
Aleister Crowley
It will be seen that the formula - 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations.
Aleister Crowley
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
I have been accused of being a ‘black magician.’ No more foolish statement was ever made about me. I despise the thing to such an extent that I can hardly believe in the existence of people so debased and idiotic as to practice 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
This complaining rambling rubbish is the substitute which has taken the place of love.
Aleister Crowley
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
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
Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
Aleister Crowley
Religion itself becomes offensively monotonous. On every point of vantage are pagodas -- stupid stalagmites of stagnant piety.
Aleister Crowley
Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action.
Aleister Crowley
Happiness lies within one's self, and the way to dig it out is cocaine.
Aleister Crowley
Every one interprets everything in terms of his own experience. If you say anything which does not touch a precisely similar spot in another man's brain, he either misunderstands you, or doesn't understand you at all.
Aleister Crowley
You can only accomplish your object in life by complete disregard of the opinions of other people.
Aleister Crowley
Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
Aleister Crowley
Morality can muddle mystical understanding and virtue is only necessary in so far as it favours success. All wisdom must be encompassed in order to achieve enlightenment.
Aleister Crowley
The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.
