The superman exists and he's American.
Alan Moore
Image
As I see it, part of the art of being a hero is knowing when you don't need to be one anymore.
Alan Moore
Image
Through my blue fingers, pink grains are falling, haphazard, random, a disorganized stream of silicone that seems pregnant with the possibility of every conceivable shape… But this is illusion. Things have their shape in time, not space alone. Some marble blocks have statues within them, embedded in their future.
Alan Moore
Image
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?
Alan Moore
Image
Is it meaningless to apologize? Never.
Alan Moore
Image
Famously, there's not really anywhere to go after nihilism. It's not progressing toward anything, it's a statement of outrage, however brilliant.
Alan Moore
Image

Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.

Don't leave home without your sword - your intellect.
Alan Moore

This is not anarchy, Eve. This is chaos.
Alan Moore
Image
A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand?
Alan Moore
Image
Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
Image
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
Image
Rather than being able to have a healthy relationship with our own sexual imagination, we're driven into some dark corners by shame and embarrassment and guilt, and those dark corners breed all sorts of monsters.
Alan Moore
Image
On the one occasion where I did try writing a screenplay, I found the rewriting just unendurable.
Alan Moore
Image
Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers, down it goes.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm very distanced from the comics industry. I love the comics medium, but I have no time for the industry.
