Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it.
Alan Moore
Image
I've never studied anything formally. I was excluded from school at the age of 17, so I am an autodidact, which is a word that I have taught myself.
Alan Moore
Image
If you're using sex to sell sneakers, then you're not just selling sneakers, you're selling sex as well, and you're contributing to the sexual temperature of society.
Alan Moore
Image
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
Alan Moore
Image
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.
Alan Moore
Image
None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.
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.

As I come to understand Vietnam and what it implies about the human condition, I also realize that few humans will permit themselves such an understanding.
Alan Moore

A lot of the critique of our growing mechanization was actually at its strongest, and arguably at its most perceptive, during the late '60s.
Alan Moore
Image
It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.
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
The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.
Alan Moore
Image
I am brother to dragons, and companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
Alan Moore
Image
I love films that are made with almost no budget.
Alan Moore
Image
I am but a stranger ... as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own in solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk besides us ... at least for a little way.

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
The Rudderless World is not shaped by vague metaphysical Forces. It is not God who kills the Children. Not Fate that butchers them or Destiny that feeds them to the Dogs. ... It´s us. Only us.
Alan Moore
Image
Is it meaningless to apologize? Never.
Alan Moore
Image
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.

Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait. She bursts into angry tears, asking if it's because she's getting older. It's true. She's aging more noticeably every day — while I am standing still. I prefer the stillness here. I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.
