Image
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Unspeakable is the variety of form and immeasurable the diversity of beauty, but in all is the seal of unity.
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
There is only one really safe, mild, harmless beverage and you can drink as much of that as you like without running the slightest risk, and what you say when you want it is, 'Garcon! Un Pernod!'
Aleister Crowley
Image
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

Aleister Crowley
Image
What is necessary is not to seek after some fantastic ideal, utterly unsuited to our real needs, but to discover the true nature of those needs, to fulfill them, and rejoice therein.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Imagine listening to Beethoven with the prepossession that C is a good note and F a bad one yet this is exactly the stand point from which all uninitiates contemplate the universe. Obviously, they miss the music.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I've written this to keep from crying. But I am crying, only the tears won't come.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Inevitably anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes authority or established conventions': a rebel. If enough people come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have --- Greatness.
Aleister Crowley
Image
To me, every dirty act was simply a sacrament of sin, a passionately religious protest against Christianity, which was for me the symbol of all vileness, meanness, treachery, falsehood and oppression.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
Image
The average man cannot believe that an artist may be as serious and highminded an observer of life as the professed man of science.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I am alone. There is no God where I am.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Alas the Master so he sinks in death. But whoso knows the mystery of man Sees life and death as curves of the same plan
