More quotes by Alan Moore
In comics the reader is in complete control of the experience. They can read it at their own pace, and if there's a piece of dialogue that seems to echo something a few pages back, they can flip back and check it out, whereas the audience for a film is being dragged through the experience at the speed of 24 frames per second.
Alan Moore
Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.
Alan Moore
People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Alan Moore
...My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was. I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can't you?
Alan Moore
The superman exists and he's American.
Alan Moore
Noise is relative to the silence preceeding it. The more absolute the hush, the more shocking the thunderclap. Our masters have not heard the peoples voice for generations, Evey and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
Alan Moore
I think that the Occupy movement is, in one sense, the public saying that they should be the ones to decide who's too big to fail.
Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.
Alan Moore
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
It has occurred to me that the superhero really only originates in America. That seems to be the only country that has produced this phenomenon.
Alan Moore
If you're functional, it doesn't matter if you're mad.
Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
When I hear alcoholics talk about having their demons, I think that they're probably absolutely literally correct.
Alan Moore
I am watching the stars, admiring their complex trajectories through space and time. I am trying to give a name to the force that set them in motion.
Alan Moore
If you give me a typewriter and I'm having a good day, I can write a scene that will astonish its readers. That will perhaps make them laugh, perhaps make them cry - that will have some emotional clout to it. It doesn't cost much to do that.
Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
For me, there is very little difference between magic and art. To me, the ultimate act of magic is to create something from nothing: It's like when the stage magician pulls the rabbit from the hat.
Alan Moore
I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.
Alan Moore
Do I believe, for example, that by using magic I could fly? No. How would you get around gravity? Impossible. Do I believe that I might be able to project my consciousness into a very, very vivid simulation of flying? Yeah. Yes, I've done that. Yes, that works.
Alan Moore
