Image
This Universe is a wild revel of atoms, men, and stars, each one a Soul of Light and Mirth, horsed on Eternity.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Oh, how superior is the Eye of Horus to the Mouth of Isis!
Aleister Crowley
Image
In the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A man who is doing his True Will has the inertia of the Universe to assist him.
Aleister Crowley
Image
You can only accomplish your object in life by complete disregard of the opinions of other people.
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
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
Image
For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I slept with faith and found a corpse in my arms on awakening I drank and danced all night with doubt and found her a virgin in the morning.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The customer is usually wrong, but statistics indicate that it doesn't pay to tell him so
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
By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
Aleister Crowley
Image
What is it in absinthe that makes it a separate cult? The effects of its abuse are totally distinct from those of other stimulants. Even in ruin and in degradation it remains a thing apart: its victims wear a ghastly aureole all their own, and in their peculiar hell yet gloat with a sinister perversion of pride that they are not as other men.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I have never grown out of the infantile belief that the universe was made for me to suck.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Chinese civilisation is so systematic that wild animals have been abolished on principle.
Aleister Crowley
Image
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Aleister Crowley
Image
I do not want to father a flock, to be the fetish of fools and fanatics or the founder of a faith whose followers are content to echo my opinions. I want each man to cut his own way through the jungle.
Aleister Crowley
Image
Further, an excess of legislation defeats its own ends. It makes the whole population criminals, and turns them all into police and police spies. The moral health of such a people is ruined for ever only revolution can save it.
Aleister Crowley
Image
It is the mark of the mind untrained to take its own processes as valid for all men, and its own judgments for absolute truth.
Aleister Crowley
Image
A burnt child dreads the fire.
