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.

I've never really cared much about money. I've got enough to live on. And it's not like I live in a fancy house, it's not like I own a car, and it's not like I ever go on holiday.
Alan Moore
Image
Most of the people who get sent to die in wars are young men who've got a lot of energy and would probably rather, in a better world, be putting that energy into copulation rather than going over there and blowing some other young man's guts out.

You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.

So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there's always madness. Madness is the emergency exit.

Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. Forever.

The only real reason that I'd have for working for Hollywood is the fantastic amounts of money involved, and that isn't enough of an incentive to really give up the degree of control that I have over my work at the moment with comics. I suppose that's probably why I don't have any designs on being a screenwriter.

Is it meaningless to apologize? Never.

The ending is nearer than you think, and it is already written. All that we have left to choose is the correct moment to begin.

I am brother to dragons, and companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.

I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.

I'm not personally connected to the Internet, although nearly everyone that I know is, and many of them have a great time and no problems with it. And on the surface you can see that the Internet could go an awful long way to educating, enlightening, informing and connecting the world.

I love films that are made with almost no budget.

There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
Alan Moore
Image
It's pretty much a fact that our entire universe is a mental construct. We don't actually deal with reality directly. We simply compose a picture of reality from what's going on in our retinas, in the timpani of our ears, and in our nerve endings.

It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.
