More quotes by Alan Moore
I'm the idea of the human imagination, which, when you think about it, is the only thing we can really be certain ISN'T imaginary.
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
Every film is a remake of a previous film, or a remake of a television series that everyone loved in the 1960s, or a remake of a television series that everyone hated in the 1960s. Or it's a theme park ride it will soon come to breakfast cereal mascots.
Alan Moore
On the one occasion where I did try writing a screenplay, I found the rewriting just unendurable.
Alan Moore
There's a notion I'd like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person.
Alan Moore
The magician to some degree is trying to drive him or herself mad in a controlled setting, within controlled laws.
Alan Moore
My dear, beautiful and imaginative things can be destroyed. Beauty and imagination cannot.
Alan Moore
There's always been this feedback between comics and films. But I think that if you take that analogy too far, if you only see comic books in terms of films, then eventually the best we can end up with is films that don't move. It would make us a poor relation to the movie industry.
Alan Moore
There's been a growing dissatisfaction and distrust with the conventional publishing industry, in that you tend to have a lot of formerly reputable imprints now owned by big conglomerates.
Alan Moore
In a sense, the story, or poem or verse or whatever it is you're writing, you can kind of think of it as a kind of projectile. Imagine it is a kind of projectile which has been specially shaped to be aerodynamic, and that your target is the soft grey putty of the reader's brain.
Alan Moore
The past can't hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.
Alan Moore
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
The one place gods inarguably exist is in the human mind.
Alan Moore
Truly, whoever we are, wherever we reside, we exist upon the whim of murderers.
Alan Moore
It is the oldest ironies that are still the most satisfying: man, when preparing for bloody war, will orate loudly and most eloquently in the name of peace.
Alan Moore
Everything you've ever read of mine is first-draft. This is one of the peculiarities of the comics field. By the time you're working on chapter three of your masterwork, chapter one is already in print. You can't go back and suddenly decide to make this character a woman, or have this one fall out of a window.
Alan Moore
Look at him now, poor fellow. That's what a dose of reality does for you...Never touch the stuff myself, you understand. Find it gets in the way of the hallucinations.
Alan Moore
I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
Alan Moore
I didn't put you in a prison, Evey. I just showed you the bars.
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
