The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
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.

Aleister Crowley

Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley

This complaining rambling rubbish is the substitute which has taken the place of love.
Aleister Crowley

Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.
Aleister Crowley
Image
There are hardly half a dozen writers in England today who have not sold out to the enemy. Even when their good work has been a success, Mammon grips them and whispers: More money for more work.
Aleister Crowley

It's no good trying to teach people who need to be taught.
Aleister Crowley

Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
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.
