More from Aleister Crowley
"I am a living man, and my business is to live."
"The true Will is not a mere wish or desire; it is the divine purpose of the individual."
"The soul is a microcosm of the universe."
"It is necessary, in this world, to be made of harder stuff than one's environment."
"Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed."
About Aleister Crowley (1875-1947)
English occultist who founded Thelema, wrote The Book of the Law (1904), and was branded 'the wickedest man in the world' by the British press. Closely associated with W.B. Yeats (fellow Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member who came to despise him). For an intellectual contrast, see G.K. Chesterton, English Christian apologist and Father Brown author — Chesterton and Crowley were Edwardian London contemporaries arguing for opposite metaphysical systems — Chesterton's restored-Christianity rationalism is the precise opposite of Crowley's 'Do what thou wilt' Thelema.
