More quotes by Aleister Crowley
Here again, there is no tabulation for us it is left to sacrifice literary charm, and even some accuracy, in order to bring out the one great point. The cause of human sectarianism is not lack of sympathy in thought, but in speech and this it is our not unambitious design to remedy.
Aleister Crowley
Love is the law, love under will.
Aleister Crowley
Practically, Science is true and Faith is foolish.
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
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
We must conquer life by living it to the full, and then we can go to meet death with a certain prestige.
Aleister Crowley
The Way of Mastery is to break all the rules—but you have to know them perfectly before you can do this otherwise you are not in a position to transcend them.
Aleister Crowley
Magic is real. And reality... it is magical.
Aleister Crowley
The man who denounces life merely defines himself as the man who is unequal to it.
Aleister Crowley
The customer is usually wrong, but statistics indicate that it doesn't pay to tell him so
Aleister Crowley
Paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.
Aleister Crowley
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.
Aleister Crowley
The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript.
Aleister Crowley
The student, if he attains any success in the following practices, will find himself confronted by things too glorious or dreadful to be described. It is essential that he remain the master of all he beholds, hears or conceives otherwise he will be the slave of illusion, and the prey of madness.
Aleister Crowley
Every incarnation that we remember must increase our comprehension of ourselves as who we are.
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
Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.
Aleister Crowley
It's no good trying to teach people who need to be taught.
Aleister Crowley
If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad.
Aleister Crowley
The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
