“Guitars (except when played in "classical"—that is, archaic—style) are low [status] by nature, and that is why they were so often employed as tools of intentional class degradation by young people in the 1960s and '70s. The guitar was the perfect instrument for the purpose of signaling these young people's flight from the upper-middle and middle classes, associated as it is with Gypsies, cowhands, and other personnel without inherited or often even earned money and without fixed residence.”

“It was after the [great] war that Aleister Crowley attained his greatest notoriety—although it should never be forgotten that he emerged from the very fin de siècle atmosphere of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and that he was a supreme example of the type of Symbolist magus who had flourished in Paris during the 1890s.”

“The dialogue is key. The hallmark of stewardship in action here is to ask people to talk about what matters to them, not to ask people to support what matters to us. Discuss common values if you must, but do not institutionalize them. Once they appear on a wall plaque they become dogma and lose their meaning. If we need to write them everywhere to remember them, then how important were they? We only make lists of things we would just as soon forget.”

“But he who, having no touch of the Muses' madness in his soul, comes to the door and thinks that he will get into the temple by the help of art—he, I say, and his poetry are not admitted; the sane man disappears and is nowhere when he enters into rivalry with the madman.”

“The needs and aspirations which during the Twenties had driven men to religion or the occult were transmuted during the decade which followed. As objects of devotion the gurus gave way to the political masters. But the vocabulary and the modes of thought employed by some of the idealistic politicians were profoundly influenced by their previous experience of the occult underground. In certain cases, whole ideological positions were taken over from occultism, and the underground became an underground no longer.”
