More quotes by Alan Moore
The Conservative Party is a religion in that they are bound together by belief. Almost any organization has its religious aspects.
Alan Moore
I love films that are made with almost no budget.
Alan Moore
As I come to understand Vietnam and what it implies about the human condition, I also realize that few humans will permit themselves such an understanding.
Alan Moore
Authority allows two roles: the torturer and the tortured. Twists people into joyless mannequins that fear and hate, while culture plunges into the abyss.
Alan Moore
My only problem with fans is when they turn pro. For example, when all the professional writers were fired by DC in the '60s, they brought in a generation of comic book fans who would have paid to have written these stories.
Alan Moore
My mother said I broke her heart...but it was my integrity that was important. Is that so selfish? It sells for so little, but it's all we have left in this place. It is the very last inch of us...but within that inch we are free.
Alan Moore
There's a notion I'd like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person.
Alan Moore
The past can't hurt you anymore. Not unless you let it. They made you into a victim, Evey. They made you into a statistic. But, that's not the real you. That's not who you are inside.
Alan Moore
The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later.
Alan Moore
The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.
Alan Moore
The roots of the word 'anarchy' are 'an archos,' 'no leaders,' which is not really about the kind of chaos that most people imagine when the word 'anarchy' is mentioned. I think that anarchy is, to the contrary, about taking personal responsibility for yourself.
Alan Moore
Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images to achieve changes in consciousness
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
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
I don't really have any great interest in writing for movies. Comics, to me, is a much more promising field. There's still a lot of ground to be broken in comics, whereas movies, to a degree... I don't know. They're a wonderful art form, but they're not my favorite art form. They might not even be in the top five of my favorite art forms.
Alan Moore
The more I look at most of the art movements, it's all occultism, when you get down to it. The Surrealists were openly talking about being magicians.
Alan Moore
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
The ending is nearer than you think, and it is already written. All that we have left to choose is the correct moment to begin.
Alan Moore
Blake understood. Treated it like a joke, but he understood. He saw the cracks in society, saw the little men in masks trying to hold it together...he saw the true face of the twentieth century and chose to become a reflection of it, a parody of it. No one else saw the joke. That's why he was lonely.
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
