To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

More quotes 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.
Alan Moore
If you give me a typewriter and I'm having a good day, I can write a scene that will astonish its readers. That will perhaps make them laugh, perhaps make them cry - that will have some emotional clout to it. It doesn't cost much to do that.
Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
Roses are red Violets are blue Everything's possible Nothing is true.
Alan Moore
What does fighting crime mean, exactly? Does it mean upholding the law when a woman shoplifts to feed her children, or does it mean struggling to uncover the ones who, quite legally, have brought about her poverty?
Alan Moore
When I was working upon the ABC books, I wanted to show different ways that mainstream comics could viably have gone, that they didn't have to follow 'Watchmen' and the other 1980s books down this relentlessly dark route. It was never my intention to start a trend for darkness. I'm not a particularly dark individual.
Alan Moore
I still can't believe it . . . him comin' here everyday, nobody realizin'. Still, that's life: lotta stuff happens under the waterline.
Alan Moore
Ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
Truly, whoever we are, wherever we reside, we exist upon the whim of murderers.
Alan Moore
In countries like the U.S. and Great Britain, we exist in a wholly sexualized culture, where everything from cars to snack food are sold with a healthy slathering of sex to make them more commercially appealing.
Alan Moore
Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.
Alan Moore
There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
It is not the job of artists to give the audience what the audience want. If the audience knew what they needed, then they wouldn’t be the audience. They would be the artist. It is the job of artists to give the audience what they need
Alan Moore
They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.
Alan Moore
I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.
Alan Moore
When I hear alcoholics talk about having their demons, I think that they're probably absolutely literally correct.
Alan Moore
I'm very distanced from the comics industry. I love the comics medium, but I have no time for the industry.
Alan Moore
Equality and freedom are not luxuries to lightly cast aside. Without them, order cannot long endure before approaching depths beyond imagining.
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
