More quotes by Aleister Crowley
It will be seen that the formula - 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law' has nothing to do with 'Do as you please.' It is much more difficult to comply with the Law of Thelema than to follow out slavishly a set of dead regulations.
Aleister Crowley
The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without.
Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
Magic is real. And reality... it is magical.
Aleister Crowley

When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one's physical powers and the character of the country one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual.
Aleister Crowley
There is no grace: there is no guilt: This is the Law: DO WHAT THOU WILT!
Aleister Crowley
The few love affairs which had come my way had been rather silly and sordid. They had not revealed the possibilities of love in fact I had thought it a somewhat overrated pleasure, a brief and brutal blindness with boredom and disgust hard on its heels.
Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
You can only accomplish your object in life by complete disregard of the opinions of other people.
Aleister Crowley
The most delicious sensation of all is the re-birth of healthy human love. Spring coming back to Earth!
Aleister Crowley
The sot drinks, and is drunken: the coward drinks not, and shivers: the wise man, brave and free, drinks, and gives glory to the Most High God.
Aleister Crowley
I am the blue-lidded daughter of Sunset I am the naked brilliance of the voluptuous night-sky.
Aleister Crowley
Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.
Aleister Crowley
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
Aleister Crowley
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
I am inclined to agree with the Head Master of Eton that pæderastic passions among schoolboys 'do no harm' further, I think them the only redeeming feature of sexual life at public schools.
Aleister Crowley
The Way of Mastery is to break all the rules—but you have to know them perfectly before you can do this otherwise you are not in a position to transcend them.
Aleister Crowley
By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
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.
