Aleister Crowley's most misunderstood/quoted line

[Timotheus Prophet of Darkness]

I believe that Aleister Crowley's most misunderstood/quoted line is the following one from "The Book of the Law":

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.Love is the law love under will.

Most people either do not understand what the whoel line means or the think that Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law is all there is too it and act like it gives them Carte Blanche to do any and everything they want.

Isn't that what he meant?

No. Crowley referred to the True Will- what one might call one's calling or purpose in life. In other words, one should find what one feels one is meant to do and adhere to this as closely as possible.

Exactly.But so many people thinks it means do what ever you want and who cares who gets hurt in the process.
