Ola,

May, might, must, should, probably, may be, we may safely assume, ought,
it is hardly questionable, almost certainly -- poor hacks! let them be
turned out to grass!

Proof is only possible in mathematics, and mathematics is only a matter
of arbitrary conventions.

And yet doubt is a good servant but a bad master; a perfect mistress,
but a nagging wife.

"White is white" is the lash of the overseer; "white is black" is the
watchword of the slave. The Master takes no heed.

The Chinese cannot help thinking that the octave has 5 notes.

The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the more certain it is
that I only assert a limitation.

Without just putting above text in a search engine;

what is that text about, where would one find that ?

Why is the part that is snipped here the most famous part ?

(1) All sorts of things, (2) It was there in the newsreader. This group is
so slack, it is easier for me just to read everything.

What does your question demonstrate ?

Did you actually look up the quote ?

Did you not know said quote by heart, from the start, anyway ?

I danced, and slept and drank with doubt.
Found her a virgin in the mornin.

Remember now ?

Understand now why i mention the missing part as the relevant part ?

The part you do remember, but never understood.

Habit is the bad part.

Random internet query for:

It is about faith that is unwavering, yet doubt renews at dawn.

Obviously ? ? / ... ???

And then what about doubt is so useful ?
It can brake and inhibit habit.

Stay in motion a bull claims/
Find some rest the twins wonders.
you can sleep when you are death the pride of the lion roars.

Now now children; dinner is almost ready, come inside and clean up.

Who is the voice of that viewpoint ?
(hint: either Virgo for the cleaning up, or Cancer for the motherly vibe)

New quote:
"many people have claimed to be the reincarnation of aleister crowley"

I claim to be Bassos; the King of alt.magick, the worst poster on
usenet, etc etc ...
(i have gathered many many titles, but i only claim 2)

To insidiously insist that my words resemble the lunatic ravings of some
drug fiend in the early 1900 years, well;

thanks, i guess ?

Do read the words of the dude i remind you off.

Now you are speaking gibberish. It does remind me though,
of the time in my QM classs where the Prof derived Euler's
equation: "exp(ix) = cos(x) + i * sin(x)".

I realized that 'imaginary' numbers are just as real as 'real' ones.
And that 'real' numbers are just as imaginary as 'imaginary' ones.

You do not know what liber al means, and have not peruse it at the same

Then do research to alleviate your fullness.

When doing research you will find something confusing.

Ask me questions about those kinds of confusions, coz they demonstrate
you did some work.

That is the reason for creation.

Being singular is boring.

Divide, for love sake, for the chance of union of separate parts of the
whole, into newer and never experienced before combinations of possibility.

Experience is the reason for creation.

Now you are speaking gibberish.
God can make a rock so heavy she cannot lift that rock, but he can lift
that rock anyway.

God is not bound by logic.

Both division for love sake, and every number is infinite go together.

There is only 1 number, and that number divided into many numbers.
(number theory :P)

A king will be unaffected, but a beggar cannot hide their poverty.

Sorta kinda.

Mathematics is ... :)

Know your crowley quote; as a hint, that that is a point i make, using a
crowley quote about this subject in particular, in this thread about
crowley quotes, with you, who do not feel which is me, and what is crowleys.

Seems funny on its own.

Imagine how full of joy this can turn into if you also understood these
crowley quotes, and then we just explore together ?

Ola,
May, might, must, should, probably, may be, we may safely assume, ought,
it is hardly questionable, almost certainly -- poor hacks! let them be
turned out to grass!
Proof is only possible in mathematics, and mathematics is only a matter
of arbitrary conventions.
And yet doubt is a good servant but a bad master; a perfect mistress,
but a nagging wife.
"White is white" is the lash of the overseer; "white is black" is the
watchword of the slave. The Master takes no heed.
The Chinese cannot help thinking that the octave has 5 notes.
The more necessary anything appears to my mind, the more certain it is
that I only assert a limitation.

Why is the part that is snipped here the most famous part ?
In the small community where I grew up there were both
Crowleys and Crawleys. In my worst year, 1996, I thought
there used to be just Crawleys and that the Crowleys were
new additions to the phone book.

Well, you did notice this was about Crowley, so you are one up on Mike.

Have any feelings about the quote ?

There have been several instance of Tom only mentioning the part i snipped.
That is why is snipped that part.

Think antidote to soundbite.
