We're the new power, come to replace the old. Cameras in the head, children with microchips, spin doctors rewriting reality as it happens.

More quotes by Grant Morrison
Talking to oneself, I have often thought, is the best way to be sure of intelligent and witty conversation.
Grant Morrison
I write constantly, so it flows from one project to the next, and I would edit everything endlessly if I had the chance. I can always see ways to improve what I've done. At the same time, knowing it's all an ongoing life's work allows me to be less precious about blind alleys, failed experiments, and misfires.
Grant Morrison
I'm at a stage in my career where I don't expect or get too much editorial input into what I'm doing. I have a proven track record of success, so my editors are willing to cut me some slack even when a particular approach is not to their personal taste.
Grant Morrison
If this book has made any point clear, I hope it's that things don't have to be real to be true. Or vice versa.
Grant Morrison
X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old. The X-Men are every rebel teenager wanting to change the world and make it better. Humanity is every adult, clinging to the past, trying to destroy the future even as he places all his hopes there.
Grant Morrison
Hell changes constantly but there are certain consistent landmarks which always stay in the same relation to one another.
Grant Morrison
It's stupid, I know, but I care. All the things that meant so much when we were young. Under the blankets late at night, listening to long-distance radio. All those things lost now or broken. Can you remember? Can you remember that feeling? Perhaps I ought to go to a doctor.
Grant Morrison
I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I've known. And I'm not a great comic reader.
Grant Morrison
I was always interested in myths growing up. So, first I got into some Roman myths, then I was interested in Norse, then Celtic, then I started spreading to all the other mythologies.
Grant Morrison
Laugh and the world laughs with you!
Grant Morrison
All I know is that you won't come back until they're all dead. 'Eternity.' Every last one of them. Every man. Every woman. Every child. Global massacre. I dream about that day. A planet of corpses
Grant Morrison
Enough madness? Enough? And how do you measure madness? - The Joker
Grant Morrison
The world gets more like Disneyland every day, and it's the same the other way round. I can't explain what I know. Try explaining RED to a DOG and see how fast he gets bored.
Grant Morrison
When was the last time you had a thought that wasn't put there by THEM?
Grant Morrison
Everyone does magic all the time in different ways. Life plus significance = magic.
Grant Morrison
The only time I ever met a character that I wrote was when I met Ian McKellan, when he was playing Magneto in the 'X-Men' movies.
Grant Morrison
In the world of the superheroes, everything had value, potential, mystery. Any person, thing, or object could be drafted into service in the struggle against darkness and evil - remade as a weapon or a warrior or a superhero. Even a little bee named Michael - after God's own avenging angel - could pitch in to win the battle against wickedness.
Grant Morrison
Your character that you create in your writing not only represents who you are, but also represents a number of people who you've met along the way.
Grant Morrison
Write comic books if you love comic books so much that you want to write them. Don't write them like movies. Comics can do a lot of things that movies can't do, and vice versa.
Grant Morrison
The moon is so beautiful. It's a big silver dollar, flipped by God. And it landed scarred side up, see? So He made the world.
