I increasingly fear that nothing good can come of almost any adaptation, and obviously that's sweeping. There are a couple of adaptations that are perhaps as good or better than the original work. But the vast majority of them are pointless.
Alan Moore
Image
I don't like to go to conventions, and I don't like to relate to people on a level of hero worship, because there's no real communication going on there.
Alan Moore

Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.

Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.
