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.

More quotes by Alan Moore
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.
Alan Moore
American love — like coke in green glass bottles...they don't make it anymore.
Alan Moore
Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else.
Alan Moore
I enjoy putting my mind into different situations rather than my body.
Alan Moore
In an era of stress and anxiety, when the present seems unstable and the future unlikely, the natural response is to retreat and withdraw from reality, taking recourse either in fantasies of the future or in modified visions of a half-imagined past.
Alan Moore
I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
Alan Moore
Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.
Alan Moore
How can two people hate so much without knowing each other?
Alan Moore
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
When the persecution of an individual who has exposed an evil is pursued so ruthlessly and yet the evil itself is studiedly ignored, all of us know that there is something very wrong with the way that our society is conducting itself. And if we do not protest in the strongest terms about what is being done in our name, then we become complicit.
Alan Moore
Perhaps this is the purpose of all art, all writing, on the murders, fiction and non-fiction: Simply to participate.
Alan Moore
Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.
Alan Moore
It's only those exceptional and rare individuals who have brilliant ideas delivered to them by the muse, complete and gift wrapped. The rest of us have to work at it.
Alan Moore
A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand?
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
Our environments shape the way we see ourselves. If you have been condemned to live in an area that is pretty evidently a rat-run, then sooner or later you're gonna come to the conclusion that you're a rat.
Alan Moore
Here's the thing: If you're monitoring every single thing that goes on in a given culture, if you have all the information that is there to be had, then that is the equivalent of having none of it. How are you going to process that amount of information?
Alan Moore
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.
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
There is an inverse relationship between imagination and money.
Alan Moore
