More from Aleister Crowley

"One would go mad if one took the Bible seriously; but to take it seriously one must be already mad."
"I was not content to believe in a personal God and an everlasting Hell. I wanted to know if these things were really true."
"Love is the law, love under will."
"The universe is a dance of joy, a song of love."
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.
