Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. Forever.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm the idea of the human imagination, which, when you think about it, is the only thing we can really be certain ISN'T imaginary.
Alan Moore
Image
It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one.
Alan Moore
Image
I've never really cared much about money. I've got enough to live on. And it's not like I live in a fancy house, it's not like I own a car, and it's not like I ever go on holiday.
Alan Moore
Image
Please, don't go. It's lonely. There's a hole in my head as big as the world and it's so very lonely.
Alan Moore
Image
Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago.
Alan Moore
Image
Don't leave home without your sword - your intellect.
Alan Moore
Image
Romantic poetry had its heyday when people like Lord Byron were kicking it large. But you try and make a living as a poet today, and you'll find it's very different!
Alan Moore
Image
In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.
Alan Moore
Image
I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadows without complaint or regret.
Alan Moore
Image
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.
Alan Moore
Image
Once a man has seen society's black underbelly, he can never turn his back on it. Never pretend, like you do, that it doesn't exist.
Alan Moore
Image
American love — like coke in green glass bottles...they don't make it anymore.
Alan Moore
Image
I love the smell of paper in the morning it smells like victory.
Alan Moore
Image
Everything you've ever read of mine is first-draft. This is one of the peculiarities of the comics field. By the time you're working on chapter three of your masterwork, chapter one is already in print. You can't go back and suddenly decide to make this character a woman, or have this one fall out of a window.

Image
They say we have we created the man to end all wars I say we have created a man to end all worlds.
Alan Moore
Image
It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.
Alan Moore
Image
It's pretty much a fact that our entire universe is a mental construct. We don't actually deal with reality directly. We simply compose a picture of reality from what's going on in our retinas, in the timpani of our ears, and in our nerve endings.
Alan Moore
Image
I'm not a very shy person. I'm just somebody who's got a lot of work and who doesn't like to parade himself in new celebrity contexts.
