Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.

More quotes by Alan Moore

Image
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
Alan Moore
Image
To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself.
Alan Moore

When I was working upon the ABC books, I wanted to show different ways that mainstream comics could viably have gone, that they didn't have to follow 'Watchmen' and the other 1980s books down this relentlessly dark route. It was never my intention to start a trend for darkness. I'm not a particularly dark individual.
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
I think I'm a bit like a kind of shark, that if I stop swimming, I won't be able to breathe, something like that.
Alan Moore
Image
Now everything is wonderful and hazardous and nothing's hypothetical.
Alan Moore
Image
My only problem with fans is when they turn pro. For example, when all the professional writers were fired by DC in the '60s, they brought in a generation of comic book fans who would have paid to have written these stories.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm not a particularly dark individual. I have my moments, it's true, but I do have a sense of humor.
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
If light is outlawed, then only outlaws will be able to see where they're going.
Alan Moore
Image
It's pretty much a fact that our entire universe is a mental construct. We don't actually deal with reality directly. We simply compose a picture of reality from what's going on in our retinas, in the timpani of our ears, and in our nerve endings.
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
Image
But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you.

In countries like the U.S. and Great Britain, we exist in a wholly sexualized culture, where everything from cars to snack food are sold with a healthy slathering of sex to make them more commercially appealing.
Alan Moore
Image
Growing up in the Boroughs, I thought I must be the cleverest boy in the world, an illusion that I was able to maintain until I got to the grammar school.

The roots of the word 'anarchy' are 'an archos,' 'no leaders,' which is not really about the kind of chaos that most people imagine when the word 'anarchy' is mentioned. I think that anarchy is, to the contrary, about taking personal responsibility for yourself.
Alan Moore
Image
On my fortieth birthday, rather than merely bore my friends by having anything as mundane as a midlife crisis I decided it might be more interesting to actually terrify them by going completely mad and declaring myself to be a magician.
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
The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.
Alan Moore

The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.
