Alan Moore on philosophy

Consciousness is unquantifiable, a ghost in the machine, barely considered real at all, though in a sense this flickering mosaic of awareness is the only true reality that we can ever know.

There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.

Life isn’t divided 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.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates470–399 BCThe Apology of Socrates (399 BC)
