Aleister Crowley quotes about
intolerance evidence fetish
Intolerance is evidence of impotence.
thee capacity all-things
Since all things are God, in all things thou seest just so much of God as thy capacity affordeth thee.
integrity ambition agamemnon
The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.
hallucinations lord abyss
Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations
unions sake chance
For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
savages body clubs

Were you not a Mason, or Co-Mason, you would have to be proposed and seconded, and then examined by savage Inquisitors, and then-probably-thrown out on the garbage heap. Well, no, it's not as bad as that; but we certainly don't want anybody who chooses to apply. Would you do it yourself, if you were on the Committee of a Club? The O.T.O. is a serious body, engaged on a work of Cosmic scope. You should question yourself: what can I contribute?
vendetta universe
By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
propositions conditions
We can no longer assert any single proposition, unless we guard ourselves by enumerating countless conditions which must be assumed.
