More quotes by Alan Moore
Do I believe, for example, that by using magic I could fly? No. How would you get around gravity? Impossible. Do I believe that I might be able to project my consciousness into a very, very vivid simulation of flying? Yeah. Yes, I've done that. Yes, that works.
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.
Alan Moore
There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
Alan Moore
The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.
Alan Moore
London has been used as the emblematic English city, but it's far from representative of what life in England is actually about.
Alan Moore
I have so very much. I have so very little.
Alan Moore
Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.
Alan Moore
I suppose that the main drive is to find the edge of something and then throw myself over it.
Alan Moore
How can two people hate so much without knowing each other?
Alan Moore
Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
Alan Moore
On my fortieth birthday, rather than merely bore my friends by having anything as mundane as a midlife crisis I decided it might be more interesting to actually terrify them by going completely mad and declaring myself to be a magician.
Alan Moore
Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.
Alan Moore
A lot of people have found the idea of living your life over and over again absolutely terrifying there's some people that find it very comforting. There are others that are appalled by it.
Alan Moore
It seems that every movie is a remake of something that was better when it was first released in a foreign language, as a 1960s TV show, or even as a comic book. Now you’ve got theme park rides as the source material of movies. The only things left are breakfast cereal mascots. In our lifetime, we will see Johnny Depp playing Captain Crunch.
Alan Moore
...My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was. I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you?
Alan Moore
It's pretty much a fact that our entire universe is a mental construct. We don't actually deal with reality directly. We simply compose a picture of reality from what's going on in our retinas, in the timpani of our ears, and in our nerve endings.
Alan Moore
Please, don't go. It's lonely. There's a hole in my head as big as the world and it's so very lonely.
Alan Moore
My only problem with fans is when they turn pro. For example, when all the professional writers were fired by DC in the '60s, they brought in a generation of comic book fans who would have paid to have written these stories.
Alan Moore
It's only those exceptional and rare individuals who have brilliant ideas delivered to them by the muse, complete and gift wrapped. The rest of us have to work at it.
Alan Moore
Ideas, unlike solid structures, do not perish. They remain immortal, immaterial and everywhere, like all Divine things. Ideas are a golden, savage landscape that we wander unaware, without a map. Be careful: in the last analysis, reality may be exactly what we think it is.
