Image
A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand?
Alan Moore
Image
Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there…a clock without a craftsman.
Alan Moore
Image
If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.
Alan Moore
Image
The comics medium has some unusual features that do make it very different, in that it's combining a verbal narrative with a visual one that allows for much richer possibilities of transmitting information.
Alan Moore
Image
Magic and art tend to share a lot of the same language. They both talk about evocation, invocation, and conjuring.
Alan Moore
Image
Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.
Alan Moore
Image
Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.

Growing up in the Boroughs, I thought I must be the cleverest boy in the world, an illusion that I was able to maintain until I got to the grammar school.

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
Image
My main point about films is that I don't like the adaptation process, and I particularly don't like the modern way of comic book-film adaptations, where, essentially, the central characters are just franchises that can be worked endlessly to no apparent point.
Alan Moore
Image
I genuinely like the people I meet at signings or the bits of public talking that I do.
Alan Moore
Image
I've come to think that the universe is a four-dimensional site in which nothing is changing and nothing is moving. The only thing that is moving along the time axis is our consciousness. The past is still there, the future has always been here. Every moment that has existed or will ever exist is all part of this giant hyper-moment of space-time.

The dusk reeks of fornication and bad consciences.
Alan Moore
Image
On my fortieth birthday, rather than merely bore my friends by having anything as mundane as a midlife crisis I decided it might be more interesting to actually terrify them by going completely mad and declaring myself to be a magician.

Image
Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade.
Alan Moore
Image
While a truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power.

It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.

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.
