More quotes by Aleister Crowley
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley
The ordinary man looking at a mountain is like an illiterate person confronted with a Greek manuscript.
Aleister Crowley
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
Aleister Crowley
Repeal all laws which assume that mankind is a herd of cattle
Aleister Crowley
Having to talk destroys the symphony of silence.
Aleister Crowley
There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son.
Aleister Crowley
A burnt child dreads the fire.
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
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
