Aleister Crowley Zitate

seite 5

„Denn reiner Wille, ohne Sinn und Zweck, befreit von der Lust am Ergebnis, ist in jeder Hinsicht perfekt.“

„Ich bin ein Poet, und ich bevorzuge meine Lügen so, wie meine Mutter sie eins machte.“

„Tue was du willst soll sein das ganze Gesetz.“

„Jedem Dinge, was es auch sei, wohnt seine besondere, ihm eigentümliche Vollendung inne, und die Vernachlässigung der vollen Auswirkung und Funktion irgend eines Teiles bringt Verzerrung und Degeneration für das Ganze. Wirke daher auf alle Weise, aber verwandle die Wirkung aller dieser Wege in den einen Weg des Willens.“

„Jeder Mann und jede Frau ist ein Stern.“

„Eine Unze deiner Praxis wiegt eine Tonne meines Lehrens auf.“

„Ich bin verblüfft.“

“Crime, folly, sickness and all phenomena must be contemplated with complete freedom from fear aversion or shame. Otherwise we shall fail to see accurately, and interpret intelligently; in which case we shall be unable to outwit and outfight them.”

“There is no part of me that is not of the gods!”

“I sing for God, our Devil, our Lord, Aiwaz.”

“Now a curse upon Because and his kin!”

“Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.”

“There is a splendour in my name hidden and glorious, as the sun of midnight is ever the son.”

“Thou spiritual Sun! Satan, Thou Eye, Thou Lust! Cry aloud! Cry aloud! Whirl the Wheel, O my Father, O Satan, O Sun! Thou, the Saviour! Silence! Give me Thy Secret! Give me suck, Thou Phallus, Thou Sun! Satan, thou Eye, thou Lust! Satan, thou Eye, thou Lust! Satan, thou Eye, thou Lust! Thou self-caused, self-determined, exalted, Most High!”

“It is a terrible error to let any natural impulse physical or mental stagnate. Crush it out, if you will, and be one with it; or fulfill it, and get it out of the system; but do not allow it to remain there and putrefy. The suppression of the normal sex instinct, for example, is responsible for a thousand ills. In Puritan countries one inevitably finds a morbid preoccupation with sex coupled with every form of perversion and degeneracy.”

“There is little danger that any student, however idle or stupid, will fail to get some result; but there is great danger that he will be led astray, obsessed and overwhelmed by his results, even though it be by those which it is necessary that he should attain. Too often, moreover, he mistaketh the first resting-place for the goal, and taketh off his armour as if he were a victor ere the fight is well begun.
It is desirable that the student should never attach to any result the importance which it at first seems to possess.”

“The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra.”

“The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.”

“She certainly gave me what I've been losing. Youth's intensity, its craving, the soul-priapism, huge lust and fierce to her, clamour for her to realize with me that mightiest marriage-dream, that Sacrament of Satan that may be consummated only beneath Night's dome, in utmost silence, because its Elements are not symbols of things, but They themselves.”

“I am inclined to agree with the Head Master of Eton that pæderastic passions among schoolboys 'do no harm'; further, I think them the only redeeming feature of sexual life at public schools.”

“My light! O my father the Devil! It hath made all things one, being perfect, even as doth the Darkness!”

“I believe in one Gnostic and Catholic Church of Light, Life, Love and Liberty, the Word of whose Law is THELEMA.”

“I with Alostrael alone - we shall do Magick unto our Lord the Devil such as the Earth hath never known.”

““The Devil” is, historically, the God of any people that one personally dislikes. This has led to so much confusion of thought that THE BEAST 666 has preferred to let names stand as they are, and to proclaim simply that AIWAZ, the solar-phallic-hermetic “Lucifer,” is His own Holy Guardian Angel, and “The Devil” SATAN or HADIT, the Supreme Soul behind RA-HOOR-KHUIT the Sun, the Lord of our particular unit of the Starry Universe. This serpent, SATAN, is not the enemy of Man, but He who made Gods of our race, knowing Good and Evil; He bade “Know Thyself!” and taught Initiation. He is “the Devil” of the Book of Thoth, and His emblem is BAPHOMET, the Androgyne who is the hieroglyph of arcane perfection.”

“In these days, when devils enter into swine, they do not rush violently down a steep place. They call themselves moral reformers, and vote the Prohibition ticket.”

“To me! To me!”

“It is useless to seek the soul of things beneath their surface, for their surface is their soul.”

“There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
Love is the law, love under will.”
