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.

More from Aleister Crowley
"I am come to lead you forth to the True Light."
"The true Will is not a mere wish or desire; it is the divine purpose of the individual."
"The path of the Wise is to make a God of their own."
"Oh, how superior is the Eye of Horus to the Mouth of Isis!"
"We must conquer life by living it to the full, and then we can go to meet death with a certain prestige."
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.
