Alan Moore Quotes

Blake understood. Treated it like a joke, but he understood.

No one else saw the joke. That's why he was lonely.

Alan Moore

Zora Neale Hurston

Painters have always needed a sort of veil upon which they can focus their attention. It's as though the more fully the consciousness is absorbed, the greater the freedom of the spirit behind. Bridget Riley
I should like these few words to be read over the grave when my body is placed in the earth; for though it is possible I may be present and conscious of what is going on, I shall not be able to communicate. Edward Carpenter
Aphorisms should be peaks? and those who are addressed, tall and lofty. The air thin and pure, danger near, and the spirit full of gay sarcasm: these go well together. Friedrich Nietzsche
Sigmund Freud quote: "A belligerent state permits itself every such misdeed, every..."
