More from Aleister Crowley
"The perfect man is a beast."
"I loathe law. It seems to me as if it were merely an elaborate series of obstacles to doing things sensibly."
"I was not of an age when ordinary things interested me."
"To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal."
"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."
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.
