There is no coincidence. Only the illusion of coincidence.

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

On the one occasion where I did try writing a screenplay, I found the rewriting just unendurable.
Alan Moore

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.

My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you're lucky.
