Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

If I have to have a past, then I prefer it to be multiple choice.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm a very smug show-off at heart. I'm altogether too pleased with myself. The big boost for me is to be able to turn out something that I think is pretty marvelous, like 'Lost Girls.' I'm not in it for money, I'm just in it for the glory.
Alan Moore
Image
A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand?
Alan Moore
Image
I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.

Alan Moore
Image
A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?
Alan Moore
Image
We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.
Alan Moore
Image
You see, there's the way things seemed and then there's the way things were and one is so often the total reverse of the other.
Alan Moore
Image
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.
Alan Moore
Image
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
I still can't believe it . . . him comin' here everyday, nobody realizin'. Still, that's life: lotta stuff happens under the waterline.
Alan Moore
Image
It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.

On the one occasion where I did try writing a screenplay, I found the rewriting just unendurable.

This city is dying of rabies. Is the best I can do to wipe random flecks of foam from its lips?
Alan Moore
Image
Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.

I didn't put you in a prison, Evey. I just showed you the bars.
