"Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales"

- Aleister Crowley

About this Quote

Aleister Crowley's quote speaks to the idea that modern morality and good manners have triggered individuals to become detached from their natural instincts and the truths of nature. He suggests that instead of being in tune with their natural instincts and comprehending the realities of nature, people are rather being fed incorrect stories and tales, which have caused them to end up being "combating drunk" on these false stories. This quote talks to the concept that contemporary society has triggered individuals to become disconnected from their natural impulses and the realities of nature, and instead become reliant on incorrect stories and tales. This disconnection has actually triggered people to become more aggressive and violent, as they are no longer in tune with their natural instincts and the facts of nature. Crowley's quote is a warning to modern society that it is very important to stay connected to our natural impulses and the realities of nature, as this is the only method to make sure that we remain in tune with our true selves and the world around us.
