Life isn't divided into genres
Alan Moore
Image
The one place gods inarguably exist is in the human mind.
Alan Moore
Image
If the audience knew what they wanted then they wouldn't be the audience, they would be the artist.
Alan Moore
Image
Life is a lot more interesting if you are interested in the people and the places around you. So, illuminate your little patch of ground, the people that you know, the things that you want to commemorate. Light them up with your art, with your music, with your writing, with whatever it is that you do.
Alan Moore
Image
Never despair. Never surrender.
Alan Moore
Image
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
Alan Moore
Image
Real life is messy, inconsistent, and it's seldom when anything ever really gets resolved. It's taken me a long time to realize that.
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
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

Of course, Marxism is an example of what Carl Popper would have called a 'World Three' structure, in that it's got immense power as an idea, but you couldn't actually hold up anything in the world and say: 'this is Marxism'.

I despise the comic industry, but I will always love the comic medium.
Alan Moore
Image
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.

We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.
Alan Moore
Image
Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.
Alan Moore
Image
As I see it, part of the art of being a hero is knowing when you don't need to be one anymore.
Alan Moore
Image
Please! Don't all leave. Somebody has to do it, don't you see? Somebody has to save the world.
Alan Moore
Image
Authority allows two roles: the torturer and the tortured. Twists people into joyless mannequins that fear and hate, while culture plunges into the abyss.
Alan Moore
Image
Through my blue fingers, pink grains are falling, haphazard, random, a disorganized stream of silicone that seems pregnant with the possibility of every conceivable shape… But this is illusion. Things have their shape in time, not space alone. Some marble blocks have statues within them, embedded in their future.
Alan Moore

It's only those exceptional and rare individuals who have brilliant ideas delivered to them by the muse, complete and gift wrapped. The rest of us have to work at it.

When I hear alcoholics talk about having their demons, I think that they're probably absolutely literally correct.
