More quotes by Alan Moore
It's all a joke! Everything anybody ever valued or struggled for... it's all a monstrous, demented gag! So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?
Alan Moore
I've had years of bizarre hallucinogenic magical experiences in which I believed I had communicated with entities that may well have been disassociated parts of my own personality or conceivably some independent entity of a metaphysical nature. Both would seem equally interesting.
Alan Moore
What does fighting crime mean, exactly? Does it mean upholding the law when a woman shoplifts to feed her children, or does it mean struggling to uncover the ones who, quite legally, have brought about her poverty?
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 didn't put you in a prison, Evey. I just showed you the bars.
Alan Moore
In a sense, the story, or poem or verse or whatever it is you're writing, you can kind of think of it as a kind of projectile. Imagine it is a kind of projectile which has been specially shaped to be aerodynamic, and that your target is the soft grey putty of the reader's brain.
Alan Moore

Alan Moore
If you're using sex to sell sneakers, then you're not just selling sneakers, you're selling sex as well, and you're contributing to the sexual temperature of society.
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
I should just keep me mouth shut, I just upset people.
Alan Moore
Right from the outset, the prevailing mindset in British comics fandom was a radical and progressive one. We were all proto-hippies, and we all thought that comics would be greatly improved if everything was a bit psychedelic like Jim Steranko.
Alan Moore
The past can't hurt you anymore, not unless you let it.
Alan Moore
Evey Hammond: Who are you? V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask. Evey Hammond: Well I can see that. V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is
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
In countries like the U.S. and Great Britain, we exist in a wholly sexualized culture, where everything from cars to snack food are sold with a healthy slathering of sex to make them more commercially appealing.
Alan Moore
I have so very much. I have so very little.
Alan Moore
They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.
Alan Moore
The one place gods inarguably exist is in the human mind.
Alan Moore
While a truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power.
Alan Moore
Nothing's that simple, not even things that are simply awful.
Alan Moore
