Every incarnation that we remember must increase our comprehension of ourselves as who we are.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The absolute rule of the state shall be a function of the absolute liberty of each individual will.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say no. I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions I only know that it is irresistible.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Image

The word of Sin is Restriction
Aleister Crowley
Image
Chinese civilisation is so systematic that wild animals have been abolished on principle.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Acts which are essentially dishonourable must not be done they would be justified only by calm contemplation of their correctness in abstract cases.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
Image
Part of the public horror of sexual irregularity so-called is due to the fact that everyone knows himself essentially guilty.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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.
Aleister Crowley
Image
By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Men and women are not free to love decently until they have analyzed themselves completely and swept away every mystery from sex and this means the acquisition of a profound philosophical theory based on wide reading of anthropology and enlightened practice.
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
To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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.
