The superman exists and he's American.
Alan Moore
Image
I have so very much. I have so very little.
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
All culture must have arisen from cult.
Alan Moore
Image
You know what I wish? I wish all the scum of the Earth had one throat and I had my hands about it.
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
Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.
Alan Moore
Image
I've had years of bizarre hallucinogenic magical experiences in which I believed I had communicated with entities that may well have been disassociated parts of my own personality or conceivably some independent entity of a metaphysical nature. Both would seem equally interesting.
Alan Moore
Image
I love the smell of paper in the morning it smells like victory.
Alan Moore
Image
One of the advantages of travelling the world is that you get to know the world broadly. And one of the advantages of staying in one place is that you get to know the world deeply.

Image
The more I look at most of the art movements, it's all occultism, when you get down to it. The Surrealists were openly talking about being magicians.
Alan Moore
Image
Equality and freedom are not luxuries to lightly cast aside. Without them, order cannot long endure before approaching depths beyond imagining.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm not a very shy person. I'm just somebody who's got a lot of work and who doesn't like to parade himself in new celebrity contexts.
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
No. Not even in the face of Armageddon. Never compromise.
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
Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
Image
I don't think you can separate a place from its history. I think a place is much more than the bricks and mortar that go into its construction. I think it's more than the accidental topography of the ground it stands on.
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.

I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.
