More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Don't talk for five minutes, there's a good chap! I've a strange feeling come over me--almost as if I were going to think!
Aleister Crowley
Invoke often! Inflame thyself with prayer!
Aleister Crowley
Toronto as a city carries out the idea of Canada as a country. It is a calculated crime against the aspirations of the soul and the affection of the heart.
Aleister Crowley
To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.
Aleister Crowley
As soon as you put men together, they somehow sink, corporatively, below the level of the worst of the individuals composing it. Collect scholars on a club committee, or men of science on a jury all their virtues vanish, and their vices pop out, reinforced by the self-confidence which the power of numbers is bound to bestow.
Aleister Crowley
Crime, folly, sickness and all phenomena must be contemplated with complete freedom from fear aversion or shame. Otherwise we shall fail to see accurately, and interpret intelligently in which case we shall be unable to outwit and outfight them.
Aleister Crowley
In the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.
Aleister Crowley
Balance every thought with its opposition. Because the marriage of them is the destruction of illusion.
Aleister Crowley
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
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
Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action.
Aleister Crowley
Every intentional act is a magical act.
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
People think that talking is a sign of thinking. It isn't, for the most part' on the contrary, it's a mechanical dodge of the body to relieve oneself of the strain of thinking, just as exercising the muscles helps the body to become temporarily unconscious of its weight, its pain, its weariness, and the foreknowledge of its doom.
Aleister Crowley
Chinese civilisation is so systematic that wild animals have been abolished on principle.
Aleister Crowley
Oh, how superior is the Eye of Horus to the Mouth of Isis!
Aleister Crowley
Black magic is not a myth. It is a totally unscientific and emotional form of magic, but it does get results — of an extremely temporary nature.
Aleister Crowley
The two seem, at first glance, to be opposed, but when you have advanced a little in both, you find that concentration learned in Yoga is of immense use in attaining the mental powers necessary in Magick on the other hand, the discipline of Magick is of the greatest service in Yoga.
Aleister Crowley
This formula of Love is universal all the laws of Nature are its servitors. Thus, gravitation, chemical affinity, electrical potential, and the rest - and these are alike mere aspects of the general law - are so many differently-observed statements of the unique tendency.
Aleister Crowley
Magick is the Art of Life itself.
