If our shallow, self-critical culture sometimes seems to lack a sense of the numinous or spiritual it's only in the same way a fish lacks a sense of the ocean.

More quotes by 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.
Grant Morrison
Kipling: Where's your sense of humor? Rebis: We're working on reconstructing it.
Grant Morrison
This is the end of our sentence
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
From now on, I'm opting for ontological terrorism.
Grant Morrison
Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.
Grant Morrison
I loved IRON MAN: Robert Downey Jr. has been and probably will be my favourite actor for a long time…but IRON MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, SUPERMAN RETURNS and all the others feel a little like Saturday morning cartoons next to the carbon black glory that is 'The Dark Knight.' Trust me, *this* is the future of this sort of thing.
Grant Morrison
Burnout is grist to the mill. I write every day, for most of the day, so it's just about turning into metaphor whatever's going on in my life, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into cash via words.
Grant Morrison
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
Grant Morrison
I do like to keep abreast of what the hardcore vocal members of the comics-reading audience are talking about on Internet message boards, but there are so few of them, as a percentage of the buying audience, that I can't allow their opinions to dictate story direction.
Grant Morrison
I don't like to think of my readership as fans, a word which has always suggested a kind of power relationship I'm uncomfortable with.
Grant Morrison
Unlike novel characters, comic book characters last an eternity. When a character is changed beyond recognition, there's no longer the merchandising aspect.
Grant Morrison
With Marvel and DC, you're working with their pre-established fictional universes and characters. At those places, you're working with characters who will outlive you and maybe your children and your childern's children. Batman will outlive me, Spider-Man will outlive me, the Avengers will outlive me, and so it goes.
Grant Morrison
Laugh and the world laughs with you!
Grant Morrison
I just wanted all the wars to be over so that we could spend the money on starships and Mars colonies.
Grant Morrison
I think the only way you can get something out is to invest some real emotion into it, which means you're already writing about what's going to happen to you, whether you know it or not. That's why I'm always surprised when people talk about writer's block. Because to me, it can't be stopped.
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
The perfect fascist state needs to operate in conditions of perpetual warfare. Have you ever noticed how the world has been in constant crisis since World War II?
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
The big problem is time. I don't have enough of it to do all the things I think about doing.
Grant Morrison
