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.

Alan Moore
Image
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
Image
Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there…a clock without a craftsman.
Alan Moore
Image
No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.
Alan Moore
Image
Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask.
Alan Moore
Image
They say we have we created the man to end all wars I say we have created a man to end all worlds.
Alan Moore
Image
I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.
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.
