Aleister Crowley Occultist, Writer
Opportunity

"She knew that she belonged to this man, body and soul. Every trace of shame departed; it was burnt out by the fire that consumed her.

That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves."
