Quote

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.

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
There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.
Aleister Crowley

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Aleister Crowley
Image
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
Image
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.

Intolerance is evidence of impotence.
Aleister Crowley

It would be unwise to condemn as irrational the practice of devouring the heart and liver of an adversary while yet warm. For the highest spiritual working one must choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force a male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory.
Aleister Crowley
Image
To train the mind to move with the maximum speed and energy, with the utmost possible accuracy in the chosen direction, and with the minimum of disturbance or friction. That is Magick. To stop the mind altogether. That is Yoga.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Ever man is eternally alone. But when you get mixed up with a fairly decent crowd, you forget that appalling fact for long enough to give your brain time to recover from the acute symptoms of its disease - that of thinking.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Love stories are only fit for the solace of people in the insanity of puberty. No healthy adult human being can really care whether so-and-so does or does not succeed in satisfying his physiological uneasiness by the aid of some particular person or not.

The word of Sin is Restriction
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
Magic is real. And reality... it is magical.
Aleister Crowley
Image
He shall fall down into a pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of reason.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Anything which throws light upon the Universe, anything which reveals us to ourselves, should be welcome in this world of riddles.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A madhouse of frenzied moneymaking and frenzied pleasure-seeking, with none of the corners chipped off. It is beautifully situatedand the air reminds one curiously of Edinburgh.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The essence of independence has been to think and act according to standards from within, not without.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I am alone. There is no God where I am.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Adaptation to one's environment makes for a sort of survival but after all, the supreme victory is only won by those who prove themselves of so much hardier stuff than the rest that no power on earth is able to destroy them. The people who have really made history are the martyrs.
