Quotes from Alan Moore

If things were no longer going on the way they should be, didn't that mean anything could happen?

A lét véletlenszer?. Nincs benne szabály, csak amit mi képzelünk bele, ha sokáig nézzük. Nincs értelme, csak amit mi aggatunk rá. Ezt a vitorla nélküli világot nem homályos metafizikai erÅ'k szabják. Nem isten öli meg a gyerekeket. Nem a sors darabolja fel Å'ket, és nem a végzet veti a kutyák elé. Hanem mi. Csak mi.

Depois de visitado, o Inferno perde a sua aura aterrorizante.

I have no interest in superheroes, they were a thing that was invented in the late 1930s for children, and they are perfectly good as children's entertainment. But if you try to make them for the adult world then I think it becomes kind of grotesque.

Really, it's just a question of reassembling the components in the correct sequence...

Who did it? Tell me who did it, you slime! Who murdered Hollis? You tell them! You tell them they're dead! You know how much firepower I have floating out there? I oughtta take out this entire rat-hole neighborhood! I oughtta. . . oughtta break your neck, you. . . you. . . Oh god damn. God damn. God damn. God damn!

Remember, Remember! The Fifth of November!

Mapas têm POTÊNCIA; se adequadamente decifrados, geram uma riqueza inestimável de saber. Codificados nas pedras desta cidade estão símbolos cujo trovejar basta para despertar os deuses adormecidos e submersos no leito oceânico dos sonhos. Para o melhor ou o pior.

A dream. I. . . I just had a dream is all. W-we were kissing, and then this nuclear bomb, it just. . . we burned up. We were gone. Everything was gone. . . It's this war, the feeling that it's unavoidable. It makes me feel so powerless. So impotent.

See, as it happens, I've got a couple of front row tickets for the end of the universe. I thought it'd be best to use them now. I mean, you never know... There may not be a second performance.

Odiar a los chatarros es natural... Le roban el trabajo a la gente, apestan a aceite. Yo creo que los tíos de Una Carne aciertan de pleno...

The air grows too warm, too quickly. I want very much for a beautiful woman to hand me a glass of very cold beer. All the atoms in the test chamber are screaming at once. The light. . . the light is taking me to pieces.

It would be fairly easy for the industry to survive comfortably for a while by pandering to specialist group nostalgia or simple escapism, but the industry that concerns itself entirely with areas of this is in my view impotent and of little more consideration or interest than the greeting card industry.

An intractable problem can only be resolved by stepping beyond conventional solutions

Escribir puede ser exigente, pero los momentos de progreso compensan de sobra. Cuando creamos, siento que estamos a sólo un milímetro de lo divino.

La buena escritura es la que empuja al lector a un compromiso activo. El arte realmente efectivo exige que el público haga al menos la mitad del trabajo

El individuo medio es capaz de afrontar una narrativa compleja, pero a menudo no es lo que se le ofrece. En la cultura popular, primero, se decide que el público está compuesto sobre todo de simplones que no apreciarían nada inteligente. Entonces, se producen obras de ese estilo, asumiendo que es lo que la masa quiere. Este proceso, prolongado durante décadas, genera una audiencia que difícilmente podrá reconocer un material inteligente, si es que lo ve.

Nothing is insoluble. Nothing is hopeless. Not while there's life.

In comics the reader is in complete control of the experience. They can read it at their own pace, and if there's a piece of dialogue that seems to echo something a few pages back, they can flip back and check it out, whereas the audience for a film is being dragged through the experience at the speed of 24 frames per second.

Technology is always a two-edged sword. It will bring in many benefits, but also many disasters.

I'm remote from most technology to the point that I'm kind of Amish.

I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.

Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing.

They say that life's a game, & then they take the board away.
