More quotes by Grant Morrison
And when it's all done, when there's no one left you'll come back for me. And tell me who I am and why I have to do what I do. And explain 'Eternity.' You'll come back
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
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
One must commit acts of the highest treason only when dressed in the most resplendent finery.
Grant Morrison
Study yourself the way a hunter studied prey. Exploit your own weaknesses to create desired changes within yourself.
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
I just wanted all the wars to be over so that we could spend the money on starships and Mars colonies.
Grant Morrison
From now on, I'm opting for ontological terrorism.
Grant Morrison
Writers and artists build by hand little worlds that they hope might effect change in real minds, in the real world where stories are read. A story can make us cry and laugh, break our hearts, or make us angry enough to change the world.
Grant Morrison
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. I use everything. Turning life into stories is how I make sense of my experience.
Grant Morrison
Einstein was wrong! IM the speed of like CRACKING through shivery rainbows and GOD the sky whirls and withers like a melting RAINBOW!
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
There's a palace in your head, boy. Learn to live in it always.
Grant Morrison
These characters were like twelve-bar blues or other chord progressions. Given the basic parameters of Batman, different creators could play very different music.
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
Abandon the 'I', because it's a lie.
Grant Morrison
Enough madness? Enough? And how do you measure madness? - The Joker
Grant Morrison
It's salt. Why don't you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren't I just good enough to eat?
Grant Morrison
Stop being frightened. You only see a monster because they want you to see monsters everywhere. They've conditioned you to look for monsters in every shadow, every coat hung on every door. As long as we keep seeing monsters, we'll continue to need protection and that's how other people get to control our lives.
Grant Morrison
The only thing that made me, or any of us, special was that no one in the whole of history would ever see the universe exactly the same way any other of us saw it.
