baptiste i'm afraid i have not been able to find the source of the quote you mentioned, however i did find an interesting quote by austin spare who perhaps alludes to the 'quote' in his statement, when he said,


'others praise ceremonial magic and are supposed to suffer much ecstasy, our asylums are crowded. the stage is over run. is it by symbolising we become the symbolised? were i to crown myself king, should i be king? rather should i be an object of disgust or pity. these magicians whose insincerity is their safety are but the unemployed dandies of brothels.'


perhaps the quote you mentioned is originally from another source, often these things have a way of being recycled.
