More quotes by Alan Moore
I think that we need mythology. We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently.
Alan Moore
I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.
Alan Moore
Since mankind's dawn, a handful of oppressors have accepted the responsibility over our lives that we should have accepted for ourselves. By doing so, they took our power. By doing nothing, we gave it away. We've seen where their way leads, through camps and wars, towards the slaughterhouse.
Alan Moore
In order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take.
Alan Moore
It was Kovacs who said Mother then, muffled under latex. It was Kovacs who closed his eyes. It was Rorschach who opened them again.
Alan Moore
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
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
It may be true that the only reason the comic book industry now exists is for this purpose, to create characters for movies, board games and other types of merchandise.
Alan Moore
This city is dying of rabies. Is the best I can do to wipe random flecks of foam from its lips?
Alan Moore
I think I'm a bit like a kind of shark, that if I stop swimming, I won't be able to breathe, something like that.
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
Nothing's that simple, not even things that are simply awful.
Alan Moore
There... Poor little things. You see them? Standing with their numbers on their blank, indifferent faces, Nuremberg in miniature, the ranks of painted wooden men... Poor dominoes. Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers down it goes.
Alan Moore
All culture must have arisen from cult.
Alan Moore
There's a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future.
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
I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.
Alan Moore
I've never studied anything formally. I was excluded from school at the age of 17, so I am an autodidact, which is a word that I have taught myself.
Alan Moore
I am brother to dragons, and companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
Alan Moore
It's funny, but certain faces seem to go in and out of style. You look at old photographs and everybody has a certain look to them, almost as if they're related. Look at pictures from ten years later and you can see that there's a new kind of face starting to predominate, and that the old faces are fading away and vanishing, never to be seen again.
Alan Moore
