“Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand?”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“They say we have we created the man to end all wars; I say we have created a man to end all worlds.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Me? I'm the king of the twentieth century. I'm the bogeyman. The villain...The black sheep of the family.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“If light is outlawed, then only outlaws will be able to see where they're going.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate — unlike most films.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“We are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“The one place Gods inarguably exist is in our minds where they are real beyond refute, in all their grandeur and monstrosity.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Because our entire universe is made up of consciousness, we never really experience the universe directly we just experience our consciousness of the universe, our perception of it, so right, our only universe is perception.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“I love you, but why must you love the law? 'Tis plain for all to see that she's a whore...that virtuous persons have no need to woo; that villains screw, then studiously ignore.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“While a truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“I'm 65 years old. Everyday the future looks a little bit darker. But the past, even the grimy parts of it, well, it just keeps on getting brighter all the time.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“American love — like coke in green glass bottles...they don't make it anymore.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“I think that storytelling and creation are very close to what the center of what magic is about. I think not just for me, but for most of the cultures that have had a concept of magic, then the manipulation of language, and words, and thus of stories and fictions, has been very close to the center of it all.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Who imprisoned me here? Who keeps me here? Who can release me? Who's controlling and constraining my life except...me?”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“There, did you think to kill me? There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea.
Quote by -Alan Moore
“It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there…a clock without a craftsman.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadows without complaint or regret.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Look at him now, poor fellow. That's what a dose of reality does for you...Never touch the stuff myself, you understand. Find it gets in the way of the hallucinations.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“In order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“As I see it, part of the art of being a hero is knowing when you don't need to be one anymore.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“Authority allows two roles: the torturer and the tortured. Twists people into joyless mannequins that fear and hate, while culture plunges into the abyss.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
“We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.”
Quote by -Alan Moore
