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

Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images to achieve changes in consciousness
Alan Moore

I am not saying people should not be free to join whichever reason they choose but should we be forced to live our lives around a belief system that originated somewhere around the fourth or fifth century BC.

Famously, there's not really anywhere to go after nihilism. It's not progressing toward anything, it's a statement of outrage, however brilliant.
Alan Moore
Image
If you're functional, it doesn't matter if you're mad.
Alan Moore
Image
I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.
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?
Alan Moore

The superman exists and he's American.
Alan Moore
Image
If we can come up with all sorts of imaginative ways in which people die, then I really don't see what the problem is with coming up with imaginative ways in which people can procreate.
Alan Moore
Image
I genuinely like the people I meet at signings or the bits of public talking that I do.

I don't really think that very much is interesting about the superhero as an archetype.
