“Never waste energy trying to explain to flies why honey is healthier than shit, because the most logical reasoning is anger.”

“Ignorance is so harmful that a thief never steals a book to learn, but to sell.”

“The core belief in having to be strong enough, characteristic of many people who develop chronic illness, is a defence. The child who perceives that her parents cannot support her emotionally had better develop an attitude of “I can handle everything myself.” Otherwise, she may feel rejected. One way not to feel rejected is never to ask for help, never to admit “weakness” — to believe that I am strong enough to withstand all my vicissitudes alone.”

“Every individual has the right to make mistakes, but never to abuse that cretin's right.”

“People, for some reason when they think about spiritual practices, spirituality, they think that we're here to be one with god or, you know, unity with all that exists, all this kind of stuff, and they think that's the only thing we're supposed to be aiming for. If that were the only thing we were supposed to be doing we would have never been born because we were all that before we came here. We came here for a very specific purpose. In buddhism they call that purpose your dharma, in magick we call it your will, and this is what Crowley was talking about anytime he wrote about your will. Your will is your dharma, so the universe is not going to waste energy creating cookie cutter duplicate people, everybody is here for a specific reason, a specific purpose, now, your will may overlap with other people's, it may have things in common with other people, but there is still something, there is a very specific unique experience that you are here to have. Most people don't realize even what that expierence is, that's what leads to unhappiness in life, you know, people who just have this vague sense of discontent or angst, when they are like "i just know that this isn't what i want". When you discover what your will is, that disappears.”

“El primer día de la primavera es una cosa y el primer día primaveral, otra diferente. Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.  Henry Van Dyke Frecuentemente la diferencia entre ellas es más de un mes.”
