Jack Parsons

My life is a testament to the power of will.

I am writing The Book of the Antichrist, which I shall publish under the magical name of Belarion.

I have always preferred rockets to people.

I always felt that I was a stranger in a strange land, and that my true home was somewhere beyond the stars.

It is my intention to evoke the Goddess Babalon with the aid of a magical partner.

I hereby commit myself, my life, my fortune, my sacred honor, to the Great Work.

I have no doubt that I am mad, but I am proud of it.

For I am the spirit that denies! And rightly too; for all that doth begin should rightly to destruction run; 'twere better then that naught should be.

I am a magician, and I am a rocket scientist. The two are not mutually exclusive.

The true artist is one who can evoke the forces of nature and bend them to his will.

I have found the formula for success: work like hell, tell everyone everything you know, and never give up.

I am not afraid of death. I welcome it as a new adventure.

The universe is a vast machine designed for the purpose of producing consciousness.

I am a servant of the Flame, and I shall not be extinguished.

I desire nothing but what I can achieve through my own will.

My life has been a series of experiments, some scientific, some magical, all of them leading to a deeper understanding of the universe.

I am a rebel, and I always will be.

We are the stuff of which stars are made.

I believe in the power of the individual to shape his own destiny.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.
