The magician to some degree is trying to drive him or herself mad in a controlled setting, within controlled laws.
Alan Moore
Image
No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.

When I hear alcoholics talk about having their demons, I think that they're probably absolutely literally correct.
Alan Moore
Image
I've never watched any of the adaptations of my books. I've never wanted to, and there's absolutely no chance of me doing so in the future.
Alan Moore
Image
Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards, is forever, then, the impossible phantom in the predictable biologic machine, and your every thought a genuine supernatural event. Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.

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

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.
