I have so very much. I have so very little.
Alan Moore
Image
The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.
Alan Moore
Image
I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.
Alan Moore
Image
This city is dying of rabies. Is the best I can do to wipe random flecks of foam from its lips?

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
Alan Moore
Image
It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.

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.
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
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
There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
Alan Moore
Image
It's early days. A few skeletons are bound to keep jumping out of the closet.
Alan Moore
Image
I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.
Alan Moore
Image
Our consciousness, a startling outgrowth of the universe, is possibly its most important part, the fraction of existence that can think, feel, marvel at itself.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm very distanced from the comics industry. I love the comics medium, but I have no time for the industry.
Alan Moore
Image
They say we have we created the man to end all wars I say we have created a man to end all worlds.
