Mortal distrust of mortal happiness
Is born of madness and of impotence;
A miserable and distorted sense,
Defiant in its hatred of success.
Aleister Crowley, “The Pessimist’s Progress” from The Temple of The Holy Ghost

The Law of Righteousness. By Ananda Maitriya. (Allan Bennett)
“Because you have so augmented the evil your nature, because you have increased its Hatred and its Self-delusion, you have damaged yourself far more than all the violence of pain or death could hurt your victim, for there is no greater suffering than Ignorance, and it is the Ignorance of byegone lives which is the chiefest cause of whatsoever suffering we now endure.” [via]
