Crowley

Famous quotes containing the word crowley:

    Roughly speaking, any man with energy and enthusiasm ought to be able to bring at least a dozen others round to his opinion in the course of a year no matter how absurd that opinion might be. We see every day in politics, in business, in social life, large masses of people brought to embrace the most revolutionary ideas, sometimes within a few days. It is all a question of getting hold of them in the right way and working on their weak points.
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    The pious pretence that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
