More quotes by Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
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
Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.
Alan Moore
People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
Alan Moore
I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.
Alan Moore
Every film is a remake of a previous film, or a remake of a television series that everyone loved in the 1960s, or a remake of a television series that everyone hated in the 1960s. Or it's a theme park ride it will soon come to breakfast cereal mascots.
Alan Moore

Alan Moore
Famously, there's not really anywhere to go after nihilism. It's not progressing toward anything, it's a statement of outrage, however brilliant.
Alan Moore
Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images to achieve changes in consciousness
Alan Moore
I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.
Alan Moore
You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.
Alan Moore
There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important.
Alan Moore
In the sixties, for anybody to suggest that the government didn't have our best interests at heart and policemen sometimes killed people would have automatically made them a radical firebrand lefty. That's not the case anymore.
Alan Moore
To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.
Alan Moore
Look at him now, poor fellow. That's what a dose of reality does for you...Never touch the stuff myself, you understand. Find it gets in the way of the hallucinations.
Alan Moore
You've got to be able to pay your bills, otherwise you're not going to sleep at night. But beyond that, the world inside my head has always been a far richer place than the world outside it. I suppose that a lot of my art and writing are meant to bring the two together.
Alan Moore
Life isn't divided into genres
Alan Moore
Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.
Alan Moore
Madness is the emergency exit. You can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. Forever.
Alan Moore
I despise the comic industry, but I will always love the comic medium.
Alan Moore
