Additional quotes by Eliphas Levi

There is a true and a false science, a Divine and an Infernal Magic – in other words, one which is delusive and tenebrous.

Magic, or rather magical power, comprehends two things, a science and a force: without the force the science is nothing, or rather it is a danger.

The Magus must have also another avocation than that of magician. Magic is not a trade.
