I loathe law. It seems to me as if it were merely an elaborate series of obstacles to doing things sensibly.

More from Aleister Crowley
"There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt."
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God, but I am God."
"The greatest pleasure is to be a law unto oneself."
"This is my real bed-rock objection to the eastern systems. They decry all manly virtue as dangerous and wicked, and they look upon Nature as evil."
"The greatest pleasure is to be misunderstood."
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.
