More from Aleister Crowley
"The greatest pleasure is to be a law unto oneself."
"The soul is a star that travels in the heavens."
"The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs."
"It is the mark of the mind untrained to take its own processes as valid for all men, and its own judgments for absolute truth."
"The true man is a god in disguise."
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.
