92 The Diary of a Drug Fiend Well, you know, I don’t like to be left in the lurch. I had to catch up. I literally shovelled the snow down. I ought to have been paid a shilling an hour by the County Council. The world is full of injustice. However, we certainly didn’t have any time to have questions asked in Parliament. There was Lou almost in tears because she had nothing to wear ; practically no jewellery—the whole idea of being a knight is that when you see a wrong it is your duty to right it.

INTRODUCTION 5 unknown, and the power of rapid and irrevocable decision without counting the cost. I think that it is altogether wrong to allow yourself to be worried by "psychological, moral and artistic problems." It is no good your starting anything of any kind unless you can see clearly into the simplicity of truth. All this humming and hawing about things is moral poison. What is the use of being a woman if you have not got an intuition, an instinct enabling you to distinguish between the genuine and the sham? Your state of mind suggests t…

The Voice of Virtue 281 Standard knows that. I believe it’s written in golden letters round the chancel in Westminster Abbey. If it isn’t, it ought to be. “Now don’t worry. And above all things, don’t get a fit of repentance and take too little to-day and to- ' morrow. If you do, you'll have another relapse. I know it sounds as though I were contradicting myself. Make the most of it, I don’t care. I’m going to do it again in the following elegant manner. “T want you to get the whole subject of heroin out of your mind; and that is the reason why…

We know how too much pleasure in a love affair makes one afraid to disgrâce oneself on the next few occasions; indeed, until familiarity has accustomed one to the idea that one’s lover has never supposed one to be more than human. Confidence returns gradually. Inarticulate ecstasy is replaced by a more sober enjoy- ment of the éléments of the fascination. Just so one’s first dazzled delight in a new landscape tur…

Have you-here , you know the routine; write it all down and send it along to be vetted! Be that as it may, I once knew a lady of some seventy summers. She came of a noble Polish family; she was short, sturdy , rather plump but singularly agile; good-looking in a brutal sort of way. But-her eyes! For fifty years she had lived nearly all the year round in her chateau in Touraine. She had plenty of money, and had always surrounded h…

44 The Law is for All Blind asses! who pretend that women are naturally chaste! The Easterns know better; all the restrictions of the harem, of public opinion, and so on, are based upon the recognition of the fact that woman is only chaste when there is nobody around. She will snatch the babe from its cradle, or drag the dog from its kennel, to prove the old saying: “Natura abhorret a vacuo.”1 For she is the Image of the Soul of Nature, the Great Mother, the Great Whore. 1 [Lat., “nature abhors a vacuum.”] 2 [Ta Chi was the concubine of Chou Hs…

And before you know where you are, instead of expres- sing yourself—what little self you have to express—you will be repeating, in a debased currency, the words of wisdom that from time to time have dropped from my refined lips.”’ There was a time when I should have resented a remark like that.

… will be immensely stimulated by having all the useless trimmings stripped from your thinking apparatus. For instance, I don't think you know the first principles of logic. You apparently take up a more or less Christian attitude, but at the same time you like very much the idea of Karma. You cannot have both. The question about money does not arise. This old and very good rule (which I have always kept) was really pertinent to the time when there were actual secrets. But I have published openly all the secrets. All I can do is to train you in …

In the light of this Book, we now know that the centre is everywhere, the circumference nowhere; that “Every man and every woman is a star”, a “Khabs,” the name of the house of Hadit; that “The word of Sin is Restriction.” To us, then, “evil” is a relative term; it is “that which hinders one from fulfilling his true Will.” (E.g., rain is “good” or “bad” for the farmer accord ing to the requirements of his crops.)
