"I have been called the wickedest man in the world. I have been called the Great Beast. I have been called many things. But I am only Aleister Crowley."

"I am a man of my century, and I write for my century."

"I laugh at everything, because I am afraid of nothing."

"The sin which is unpardonable is knowingly and wilfully to reject truth, to fear knowledge lest that knowledge pander not to thy prejudices."
