William James

“Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor”. –William James

Aleister Crowley

“The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous, and menacing. Its overshadowing formlessness obsesses the mind. The way to beat an enemy is to define him clearly, to analyze and measure him. Once an idea is intelligently grasped, it ceases to threaten the mind with the terrors of the unknown”. –Aleister Crowley
