More Alan Moore quote about:

-- Alan Moore

#Children #Selfish #Taken
“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

#Children #Struggle #Mean
“A world grows up around me. Am I shaping it, or do its predetermined contours guide my hand?”
-- Alan Moore

#Growing Up #Hands #World
“My experience of life is that it is not divided up into genres; itâ€™s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of ***** if you're lucky.”
-- Alan Moore

#Life #Cowboy #Inspire
“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”
-- Alan Moore

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.”
-- Alan Moore

#Believe #Comforting #Banking
“Because our entire universe is made up of consciousness, we never really experience the universe directly we just experience our consciousness of the universe, our perception of it, so right, our only universe is perception.”
-- Alan Moore

#Spiritual #Perception #Consciousness
“You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it.”

-- Alan Moore

#Humor #Comedian #Realizing
“Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell.”
-- Alan Moore

#Life #Hero #Cheer Up
“Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.”
-- Alan Moore

#Gun #Plot #November
“You canâ€™t buy that kind of empowerment. To just know that as far as you are aware, you have not got a price; that there is not an amount of money large enough to make you compromise even a tiny bit of principle that, as it turned out, would make no practical difference anyway. Iâ€™d advise everyone to do it, otherwise youâ€™re going to end up mastered by money and thatâ€™s not a thing you want ruling your life.”
-- Alan Moore

#Differences #Empowerment #Principles
“I donâ€™t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldnâ€™t be the person I am today if it wasnâ€™t for the opportunities the library gave me.”
-- Alan Moore

#School #Thinking #Opportunity
“Artists use lies to tell the truth. Yes, I created a lie. But because you believed it, you found something true about yourself.”
-- Alan Moore

#Lying #Believe #Artist
“Ideas, unlike solid structures, do not perish. They remain immortal, immaterial and everywhere, like all Divine things. Ideas are a golden, savage landscape that we wander unaware, without a map. Be careful: in the last analysis, reality may be exactly what we think it is.”
-- Alan Moore

#Reality #Thinking #Ideas
“Never despair. Never surrender.”
-- Alan Moore

#Despair #Surrender #Never Surrender
“Our masters have not heard the people's voice for generations and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.”
-- Alan Moore

“Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.”
-- Alan Moore

“Your pretty empire took so long to build, now, with a snap of history's fingers, down it goes.”
-- Alan Moore

“Don't leave home without your sword - your intellect.”
-- Alan Moore

#Home #Intellect
“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

#Zombie #Culture
“Famously, there's not really anywhere to go after nihilism. It's not progressing toward anything, it's a statement of outrage, however brilliant.”
-- Alan Moore

#Progress #Nihilism #Brilliant
“You've got to be able to pay your bills, otherwise you're not going to sleep at night. But beyond that, the world inside my head has always been a far richer place than the world outside it. I suppose that a lot of my art and writing are meant to bring the two together.”
-- Alan Moore

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

#Whim #Murderer
“There's no such thing as quitting. Just sometimes there's a longer pause between relapses.”
-- Alan Moore

#Quitting #Sometimes #Relapse
“There is some confusion as to what magic actually is. I think this can be cleared up if you just look at the very earliest descriptions of magic. Magic in its earliest form is often referred to as â€œthe artâ€. I believe this is completely literal. I believe that magic is art and that art, whether it be writing, music, sculpture, or any other form is literally magic.”
-- Alan Moore

#Art #Believe #Writing
“To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself.”
-- Alan Moore

#Art #Book #Writing
“All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.”
-- Alan Moore
