Nothing is insoluble. Nothing is hopeless. Not while there’s life. — Alan Moore

Money’s fine if it enables you to enjoy your life and to be useful to other people. But as something that is a means to an end, no, it’s useless. — Alan Moore

Knowledge, like air, is vital to life. Like air, no one should be denied it. — Alan Moore

We are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. — Alan Moore

It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years I had roses, and apologized to no one. — Alan Moore

I live my life free of compromise, and step into the shadows without complaint or regret. — 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

Who imprisoned me here? Who keeps me here? Who can release me? Who’s controlling and constraining my life except…me? — Alan Moore

My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; it’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science–fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky. — Alan Moore

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there’s no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned? — Alan Moore

Real life is messy, inconsistent, and it’s seldom when anything ever really gets resolved. It’s taken me a long time to realize that. — Alan Moore

Culture is just a shambling zombie that repeats what it did in life; bits of it drop off, and it doesn’t appear to notice. — Alan Moore

Everybody has their story to tell. — Alan Moore

I don’t think any of us grew up into the world we were hoping for or expecting. — 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

All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am. Just one bad day. — Alan Moore

One of the advantages of travelling the world is that you get to know the world broadly. And one of the advantages of staying in one place is that you get to know the world deeply. — Alan Moore

A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand? — Alan Moore

Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there…a clock without a craftsman. — Alan Moore

We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another’s vantage point, as if new, it may still take the breath away. — Alan Moore

There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important. — Alan Moore

The Rudderless World is not shaped by vague metaphysical Forces. It is not God who kills the Children. Not Fate that butchers them or Destiny that feeds them to the Dogs. … It s us. Only us. — Alan Moore

My point is, I went crazy. When I saw what a black, awful joke the world was. I went crazy as a coot! I admit it! Why can’t you? — Alan Moore

The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him… [from Macbeth] — Alan Moore

Does the human heart know chasms so abysmal? — Alan Moore

Magic and art tend to share a lot of the same language. They both talk about evocation, invocation, and conjuring. — Alan Moore

For me, there is very little difference between magic and art. To me, the ultimate act of magic is to create something from nothing: It’s like when the stage magician pulls the rabbit from the hat. — Alan Moore

I don’t think there’s really any difference between art–or writing, or music–and magic. And I particularly draw the link between magic and writing. I think that they are profoundly connected. — Alan Moore

There is no coincidence. Only the illusion of coincidence. — Alan Moore

As far as I can see, it’s not important that we have free will, just as long as we have the illusion of free will to stop us going mad. — Alan Moore

I thought, ‘Well if I’m gonna react might as well overreact! — Alan Moore

That pompous phrase (graphic novel) was thought up by some idiot in the marketing department of DC. I prefer to call them Big Expensive Comics. — Alan Moore

Growing up in the Boroughs, I thought I must be the cleverest boy in the world, an illusion that I was able to maintain until I got to the grammar school. — 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

So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there’s always madness. Madness is the emergency exit. — Alan Moore

Truly, whoever we are, wherever we reside, we exist upon the whim of murderers. — Alan Moore

There’s a notion I’d like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person. — Alan Moore

Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea… and ideas are bulletproof. — Alan Moore
