“The “bad” god is lawlessness, contrariness and visionary leaps into the future. He is the curiosity that seeks after the most hidden mysteries and the boundless titanic defiance that overthrows all laws and rules. He is the highest wisdom and the deepest depravity. He is the wildest pride and speechless humility; that is the only way for man to thwart the rules. He sanctifies the high and daring, the zealous and calls it heroism. He teaches man that there is no crime except that of going against one’s own nature. He sanctifies curiosity and calls it science; He lets man investigate into his own origins and calls it philosophy. He allows and teaches everything in the streambed of sexuality without bounds and calls it art.”

The Synagogue of Satan, Stanislaw Przybyszewski
