More quotes by Alan Moore
But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
Alan Moore
Truly, whoever we are, wherever we reside, we exist upon the whim of murderers.
Alan Moore
It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.
Alan Moore
Now everything is wonderful and hazardous and nothing's hypothetical.
Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
I think that in an increasingly virtual world, lovingly produced artefacts are at a premium.
Alan Moore
If you look at that incredible burst of fantastic characters that emerged in the late 19th century/early 20th century, you can see so many of the fears and hopes of those times embedded in those characters. Even in throwaway bits of contemporary culture you can often find some penetrating insights into the real world around us.
Alan Moore
The one thing with writing stories about the rise of fascism is that if you wait long enough, you'll almost certainly be proved right. Fascism is like a hydra - you can cut off its head in the Germany of the '30s and '40s, but it'll still turn up on your back doorstep in a slightly altered guise.
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
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.
Alan Moore
In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.
Alan Moore
I don't think any of us grew up into the world we were hoping for or expecting.
Alan Moore
Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.
Alan Moore
Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers, down it goes.
Alan Moore
I don't think there's really any difference between art - or writing, or music - and magic. And I particularly draw the link between magic and writing. I think that they are profoundly connected.
Alan Moore
Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.
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
The Rudderless World is not shaped by vague metaphysical Forces. It is not God who kills the Children. Not Fate that butchers them or Destiny that feeds them to the Dogs. ... It´s us. Only us.
Alan Moore
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
Alan Moore
People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Alan Moore
