Your friends will notice at once that glib vacuities fail to impress, and hate you, and tell lies about you. It's worth it.
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. Even in ruin and in degradation it remains a thing apart: its victims wear a ghastly aureole all their own, and in their peculiar hell yet gloat with a sinister perversion of pride that they are not as other men.
Aleister Crowley
Image
There are no standards of Right. Ethics is balderdash. Each Star must go on its own orbit. To hell with moral principle there is no such thing.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Love is the only principle which makes life tolerable.
Aleister Crowley
Image

To me, every dirty act was simply a sacrament of sin, a passionately religious protest against Christianity, which was for me the symbol of all vileness, meanness, treachery, falsehood and oppression.
Aleister Crowley

Chinese civilisation is so systematic that wild animals have been abolished on principle.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I'm a poet, and I like my lies the way my mother used to make them.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
Image
I am certainly of opinion that genius can be acquired, or, in the alternative, that it is an almost universal possession.
Aleister Crowley
Image
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.
Aleister Crowley
