I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadows without complaint or regret.
Alan Moore

It's cold and it's mean spirited and I don't like it here anymore.
Alan Moore

I think that the Occupy movement is, in one sense, the public saying that they should be the ones to decide who's too big to fail.

I've had years of bizarre hallucinogenic magical experiences in which I believed I had communicated with entities that may well have been disassociated parts of my own personality or conceivably some independent entity of a metaphysical nature. Both would seem equally interesting.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm a very smug show-off at heart. I'm altogether too pleased with myself. The big boost for me is to be able to turn out something that I think is pretty marvelous, like 'Lost Girls.' I'm not in it for money, I'm just in it for the glory.

The only real reason that I'd have for working for Hollywood is the fantastic amounts of money involved, and that isn't enough of an incentive to really give up the degree of control that I have over my work at the moment with comics. I suppose that's probably why I don't have any designs on being a screenwriter.

I’ve known a lot of people go mad over the years, and it is more distressing than people dying. People dying is quite natural, people going mad is the complete antithesis of that.
Alan Moore
Image
Please don't worry. It's a psychological complaint, common amongst ex-librarians. You see, she thinks she's a coffee table edition.
Alan Moore
Image
One of the advantages of travelling the world is that you get to know the world broadly. And one of the advantages of staying in one place is that you get to know the world deeply.

Ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
Image
No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.
Alan Moore
Image
Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.

Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.
Alan Moore
Image
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.

I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.

In comics the reader is in complete control of the experience. They can read it at their own pace, and if there's a piece of dialogue that seems to echo something a few pages back, they can flip back and check it out, whereas the audience for a film is being dragged through the experience at the speed of 24 frames per second.

Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.

I genuinely like the people I meet at signings or the bits of public talking that I do.
