Aleister Crowley
To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind or, if not, should never be published at all.
Aleister Crowley
Having to talk destroys the symphony of silence.
Aleister Crowley
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
Initiation means the Journey Inwards: nothing is changed or can be changed but all is trulier understood with every step.
