I think that we need mythology. We need a bedrock of story and legend in order to live our lives coherently.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

Here's the thing: If you're monitoring every single thing that goes on in a given culture, if you have all the information that is there to be had, then that is the equivalent of having none of it. How are you going to process that amount of information?

There has been a rather unple...

There has been a rather unpleasant sensibility apparent in Frank Miller's work for quite a long time.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

For me, there is very little ...

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.

Every film is a remake of a previous film, or a remake of a television series that everyone loved in the 1960s, or a remake of a television series that everyone hated in the 1960s. Or it's a theme park ride; it will soon come to breakfast cereal mascots.

If you look at that incredibl...

If you look at that incredible burst of fantastic characters that emerged in the late 19th century/early 20th century, you can see so many of the fears and hopes of those times embedded in those characters. Even in throwaway bits of contemporary culture you can often find some penetrating insights into the real world around us.

I'm dependent on writing for ...

I'm dependent on writing for a living, so really it's to my advantage to understand how the creative process works. One of the problems is, when you start to do that, in effect you're going to have to step off the edge of science and rationality.

When I started writing comics...

When I started writing comics, 'comics writer' was the most obscure job in the world! If I wanted to be a celebrity, I would have become a moody English screen actor.

Do I believe, for example, that by using magic I could fly? No. How would you get around gravity? Impossible. Do I believe that I might be able to project my consciousness into a very, very vivid simulation of flying? Yeah. Yes, I've done that. Yes, that works.

One of the things I don't lik...

One of the things I don't like about film is its incredible immersive quality. It's kind of bullying - it's very big, it's very flashy, it's got a lot of weight and it throws it around almost to the detriment of the rest of our culture.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

Language comes first. It's no...

Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

Of course, Marxism is an exam...

Of course, Marxism is an example of what Carl Popper would have called a 'World Three' structure, in that it's got immense power as an idea, but you couldn't actually hold up anything in the world and say: 'this is Marxism'.

To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You've got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

In the human mind, the number of possible connections that can be made between neurons greatly exceeds the number of atoms in the universe.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

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 284 quotes

It is my belief that all gods...

It is my belief that all gods are stories, or at least the ideas behind stories, but stories or ideas that have become in some way almost alive and aware.

Alan Moore 284 quotes

There are two worlds we live ...

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 284 quotes

To paint comic books as childish and illiterate is lazy. A lot of comic books are very literate - unlike most films.

Writing is a very focused form of meditation. Just as good as sitting in a lotus position.
