More quotes by Aleister Crowley
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
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
There is a single main definition of the object of all magical Ritual. It is the uniting of the Microcosm with the Macrocosm. The Supreme and Complete Ritual is therefore the Invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel or, in the language of Mysticism, Union with God.
Aleister Crowley
For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
Aleister Crowley
How right politicians are to look upon their constituents as cattle! Anyone who has any experience of dealing with any class as such knows the futility of appealing to intelligence, indeed to any other qualities than those of brutes.
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
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
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
Aleister Crowley
It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one's environment.
Aleister Crowley
The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript.
Aleister Crowley
There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.
Aleister Crowley
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
Aleister Crowley
Do not imagine that art or anything else is other than high magic! - is a system of holy hieroglyph. The artist, the initiate, thus frames his mysteries. The rest of the world scoff, or seek to understand, or pretend to understand some few obtain the truth.
Aleister Crowley
Happiness lies within one's self, and the way to dig it out is cocaine.
Aleister Crowley
Every man and every woman is a star.
Aleister Crowley
Oh, how superior is the Eye of Horus to the Mouth of Isis!
Aleister Crowley
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley
The Gods are but names for the forces of Nature themselves.
Aleister Crowley
The key of joy is disobedience.
