Subtle Body - Aleister Crowley and The Body of Light

Famous quotes containing the words aleister crowley, crowley, body and/or light:

“To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.... A message from the gods should be delivered at once. It is damnably blasphemous to talk about the autumn season and so on. How dare the author or publisher demand a price for doing his duty, the highest and most honourable to which a man can be called?”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

“Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

“I know that I have the body of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)

“For all this sea-hoard of deciduous things,
Strange woods half sodden, and new brighter stuff:
In the slow float of differing light and deep,
No! there is nothing! In the whole and all,
Nothing that’s quite your own.
Yet this is you.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
