My mother said I broke her heart...but it was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish? It sells for so little, but it's all we have left in this place. It is the very last inch of us...but within that inch we are free.
Alan Moore

More quotes by 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
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
We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.
Alan Moore
We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another's vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away.
Alan Moore
All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.
Alan Moore
It was Kovacs who said Mother then, muffled under latex. It was Kovacs who closed his eyes. It was Rorschach who opened them again.
Alan Moore
Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
Alan Moore
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.
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.
Alan Moore
I did it thirty-five minutes ago.
Alan Moore
I think that the Occupy movement is, in one sense, the public saying that they should be the ones to decide who's too big to fail.
Alan Moore
If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.
Alan Moore
For me, there is very little difference between magic and art. To me, the ultimate act of magic is to create something from nothing: It's like when the stage magician pulls the rabbit from the hat.
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
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.
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
I was kind of a selfish child, who always wanted things his way, and I've kind of taken that over into my relationship with the world.
Alan Moore
I don't think you can separate a place from its history. I think a place is much more than the bricks and mortar that go into its construction. I think it's more than the accidental topography of the ground it stands on.
Alan Moore
In the sixties, for anybody to suggest that the government didn't have our best interests at heart and policemen sometimes killed people would have automatically made them a radical firebrand lefty. That's not the case anymore.
Alan Moore
Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.
