We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.
Alan Moore

Nothing's that simple, not even things that are simply awful.
Alan Moore

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.

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
Image
I don't think there's really any difference between art - or writing, or music - and magic. And I particularly draw the link between magic and writing. I think that they are profoundly connected.
Alan Moore
Image
Through my blue fingers, pink grains are falling, haphazard, random, a disorganized stream of silicone that seems pregnant with the possibility of every conceivable shape… But this is illusion. Things have their shape in time, not space alone. Some marble blocks have statues within them, embedded in their future.

Nothing is insoluble. Nothing is hopeless. Not while there's life.

Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images to achieve changes in consciousness

If you're functional, it doesn't matter if you're mad.

Roses are red Violets are blue Everything's possible Nothing is true.

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.

There's always been this feedback between comics and films. But I think that if you take that analogy too far, if you only see comic books in terms of films, then eventually the best we can end up with is films that don't move. It would make us a poor relation to the movie industry.

No one will ever forget that night, and what it meant for this country. But I will never forget the man and what he meant to me.
Alan Moore

I despise the comic industry, but I will always love the comic medium.

Happiness is the most insidious prison of all.
Alan Moore
Image
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

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.

I'm the king of the 20th century. I'm the boogeyman, the villian, the black sheep of the family.

The world's a stage, & everything else is Vaudeville.

I'm a very smug show-off at heart. I'm altogether too pleased with myself. The big boost for me is to be able to turn out something that I think is pretty marvelous, like 'Lost Girls.' I'm not in it for money, I'm just in it for the glory.
