Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers, down it goes.
Alan Moore
Image
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
Alan Moore
Image
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?

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.

I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.
Alan Moore
Image
As people get more desperate, history suggests that they're not going to rise in a mighty proletarian tidal wave and wash away their oppressors. They're gonna turn on each other.
Alan Moore
Image
There... Poor little things. You see them? Standing with their numbers on their blank, indifferent faces, Nuremberg in miniature, the ranks of painted wooden men... Poor dominoes. Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers down it goes.
Alan Moore
Image
We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.
Alan Moore

The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him... [from Macbeth]

Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.

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.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
