More from Aleister Crowley
"The universe is a symphony of divine harmonies."
"I am a beast; I am a god. I am all things, good and evil."

"I am a man of my word, and my word is law."
"For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect."
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.
