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?

Janey accuses me of chasing jailbait. She bursts into angry tears, asking if it's because she's getting older. It's true. She's aging more noticeably every day — while I am standing still. I prefer the stillness here. I am tired of Earth. These people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.

I was kind of a selfish child, who always wanted things his way, and I've kind of taken that over into my relationship with the world.

Nothing's that simple, not even things that are simply awful.

The only reality we can ever truly know is that of our perceptions, our own consciousness, while that consciousness, and thus our entire reality, is made of nothing but signs and symbols. Nothing but language. Even God requires language before conceiving the Universe. See Genesis: “In the beginning was the Word.

It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?

Way back in the day, when I first started and had delusions of adequacy as a cartoonist, I would listen to music. When I switched to a career as a writer, I would try to listen to music, but if the songs had lyrics they would get in the way of the words I was trying to write. So I switched to listening to purely instrumental pieces.

I am brother to dragons, and companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

Things are tough all over, cupcake, an' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike...except in California.

Rather than being able to have a healthy relationship with our own sexual imagination, we're driven into some dark corners by shame and embarrassment and guilt, and those dark corners breed all sorts of monsters.

The one thing with writing stories about the rise of fascism is that if you wait long enough, you'll almost certainly be proved right. Fascism is like a hydra - you can cut off its head in the Germany of the '30s and '40s, but it'll still turn up on your back doorstep in a slightly altered guise.

You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.

I love the smell of paper in the morning it smells like victory.

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

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.

Despite the constant clamor for attention from the modern world, I do believe we need to procure a psychological space for ourselves. I apparently know some people who try to achieve this by logging off or going without their Twitter or Facebook for a limited period.

Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.

None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.
