Occultist, wickedest man in the world
Sayings by Aleister Crowley
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Love is the law, love under will.
Every man and every woman is a star.
I was not of an age when ordinary things interested me.
The word of Sin is Restriction.
The soul is a star in the firmament of the body.
I hardly ever did anything that was not in some sense a ritual.
The essence of the Law is to transcend the Law.
Success is your proof: argue not; convert not; talk not overmuch!
I am a living man, and my business is to live.
The true Magical Oath is 'I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.'
My life was a continual warfare against the stupidity of mankind.
The highest form of worship is the pure love of God.
The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs.
I am a beast; I am a god. I am all things, good and evil.
There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
The great work is to unite the Microcosm with the Macrocosm.
I am the Serpent that giveth Knowledge & Delight and bright glory, and stir the hearts of men with drunkenness. To worship me take wine and strange drugs whereof I tell my prophet, & be drunk thereof! They shall not harm ye at all. It is a lie, this folly against self. The exposure of innocence is a lie. Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this.
I am Lucifer, the bringer of light.
The true Will is not a mere wish or desire; it is the divine purpose of the individual.
