Quote

In order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take.

I have so very much. I have so very little.
Alan Moore
Image
As far as I can see, it's not important that we have free will, just as long as we have the illusion of free will to stop us going mad.
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.
Alan Moore

It's cold and it's mean spirited and I don't like it here anymore.
Alan Moore
Image
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.

All culture must have arisen from cult.

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

Alan Moore
Image
There has been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller's work for quite a long time.

Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.
Alan Moore
Image
I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.
Alan Moore
Image
You've got to be able to pay your bills, otherwise you're not going to sleep at night. But beyond that, the world inside my head has always been a far richer place than the world outside it. I suppose that a lot of my art and writing are meant to bring the two together.
Alan Moore
Image
I suppose that the main drive is to find the edge of something and then throw myself over it.
Alan Moore
Image
Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers, down it goes.
Alan Moore
Image
If we loved Steve Aylett, really loved him in the way that he deserves, a selfless love that genuinely wanted nothing save his happiness and comfort, we'd lobotomise him.
Alan Moore
Image
If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.
Alan Moore
Image
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.

I didn't really sign up to be a celebrity, I only signed up to be a writer.

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.
