Crowley

Famous quotes containing the word crowley:

    The joy of life consists in the exercise of one’s energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    When one walks, one is brought into touch first of all with the essential relations between one’s physical powers and the character of the country; one is compelled to see it as its natives do. Then every man one meets is an individual. One is no longer regarded by the whole population as an unapproachable and uninteresting animal to be cheated and robbed.
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    I was asked to memorise what I did not understand; and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner.
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
