Aleister Crowley
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
Aleister Crowley
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
Aleister Crowley
When you have proved that God is merely a name for the sex instinct, it appears to me not far to the perception that the sex instinct is God.
Aleister Crowley
All phenomena of which we are aware take place in our own minds, and therefore the only thing we have to look at is the mind which is a more constant quantity over all the species of humanity than is generally supposed.
Aleister Crowley
Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
Aleister Crowley
