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
When you have proved that God is merely a name for the sex instinct, it appears to me not far to the perception that the sex instinct is God.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Sit still. Stop thinking. Shut up. Get out! The first two of these instructions comprise the whole of the technique of Yoga. The last two are of a sublimity which it would be improper to expound in this present elementary stage.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Light, Life and Love are like three glow-worms at thy feet: the whole universe of stars, the dewdrops on the grass whereon thou walkest!
Aleister Crowley
Image
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the most certain it is that I only assert a limitation.

Image
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
Aleister Crowley
Image

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
Image
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
Image
I did not hate God or Christ, but merely the God and Christ of the people whom I hated.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I was not content to just believe in Satan. I wanted to be his chief or staff.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one's neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The most delicious sensation of all is the re-birth of healthy human love. Spring coming back to Earth!
Aleister Crowley
Image
Must not understanding lie open unto wisdom as the pyramids lie open to the stars? (6:2)
Aleister Crowley
Image
To use legal or financial constraint to compel either abstention or submission, is entirely horrible, unnatural and absurd.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Magick is the Science of understanding oneself and one's conditions. It is the Art of applying that understanding in action.
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
Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
