More quotes by Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
The key of joy is disobedience.
Aleister Crowley
He shall fall down into a pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of reason.
Aleister Crowley
30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops an does naught. 31. If power asks why, then power is weakness.
Aleister Crowley
All phenomena of which we are aware take place in our own minds, and therefore the only thing we have to look at is the mind which is a more constant quantity over all the species of humanity than is generally supposed.
Aleister Crowley
Your kiss is bitter with cocaine.
Aleister Crowley
A single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage point from which to view the world.
Aleister Crowley
Those magicians who object to the use of blood, have endeavored to replace it with incense. But, the bloody sacrifice, though more dangerous, is more efficacious. And for nearly all purposes, human sacrifice is the best.
Aleister Crowley
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Aleister Crowley
I can imagine myself on my death-bed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman.
Aleister Crowley
