Moore Quotes

“But she's a redhead, so she's probably evil, even at her tender age."

"I do. What's your point?”
― Christopher Moore, Sacré Bleu: A Comedy d'Art

“...as if someone had thrown a hand grenade into the middle of a teddy bear orgy and the only survivors had had their fur blown off.”
― Christopher Moore, You Suck

“Pondering is a little like considering and a little like thinking, but looser. To ponder, one must let the facts roll around the rim of the mind's roulette wheel, coming to settle in whichever slot they feed pulled to.”
― Christopher Moore, Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings

“I know the resolution. I know the end of the story before it ever begins. I must choose love. And for this, I will surely die.”

“As a teacher of fourth-graders in a public school, where corporal punishement was not allowed, she had years of violence stored up and was, truth be told, sort of enjoying letting it out on Kona, who she felt could have been the poster child for the failure of public education.”
― Christopher Moore, Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings

“There was alliteration happening all over the place in that sentence.”
― Moira J. Moore, The Hero Strikes Back

“Listening to her spooling out impractical and transcendental picture-concepts like a hyperventilating tickertape he felt the weight lift from him, floating in a sweet and putrid lager fart to dissipate beneath the starry, vast obsidian pudding bowl of closing time, inverted and set down upon the Burroughs as though keeping flies away.”
― Alan Moore, Jerusalem

“The day will always have some bit of weirdness in it like a piece of fruit with one bad spot. Spit it out as fast as u can and eat the rest!”
― Raven Moore

“The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence;
not in silence, but restraint.”

“His sister, in a big turquoise Angora sweater, leaned upon the wood frame of the open nursery door, anxiously looking out to see if he was really going to show, beaming and waving like a pastel colored TV Muppet when she spotted him.”
― Alan Moore, Jerusalem

“Life is not about growing old and dying. Life is about growing and trying.”
― Raven Moore

“Money doesn't make the things you need. People do.”
― Raven Moore, Padre!: A Place Whose Rules Rearrange Your Own

“Being positive at the worst time is the best time.”
― Raven Moore

“Jelikož postrádáme univerzální spiritualitu, redukujeme ji na soupeřící náboženství, což je závažné snižování víry na subjektivní názor, nikoli duchovní moudrost a otevřenost, a na centralistické, autoritářské církevní instituce. Zeptejte se někoho na jeho náboženství a on vám s největší pravděpodobností řekne, ke které organizaci patří, čemu věří nebo do kterého kostela chodí. Nebude mluvit o svých metodách rozjímání ani o své službě lidstvu. Nezmíní se o svém životním poslání ani o své morálce a vizi. Lidé dnes uvažují o náboženství jako o nějaké věci, jako o instituci. Mnozí tudíž opouštějí slovo náboženství a místo toho používají spiritualita.”
― Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life

“Existují domácí bohové a naše každodenní práce je způsobem, jak projevit uznání těmto domácím duchům, kteří jsou pro udržení našeho života tak důležití. Rýžák je pak posvátným předmětem, a když tento nástroj užíváme s péčí, děláme něco pro duši. V tomto smyslu je čištění koupelny určitým druhem terapie, protože existuje vzájemnost mezi skutečnou místností a jistou komnatou v srdci. Koupelna, která se objevuje v našich snech, je zároveň pokojem našeho domu i poetickým objektem, který popisuje prostor v duši.”
― Thomas Moore, Care of the Soul: A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life

“Gordon and Betty Moore will be forever linked to the biologically toxic Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea.”

“Bernie Sanders is the Michael Moore of USA politics.”
― Steven Magee

“Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron,
iron is iron till it is rust.
There never was a war that was
not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.
I inwardly did nothing.
O Iscariot-like crime!
Beauty is everlasting
and dust is for a time.”
― Marianne Moore, Complete Poems

“The power of the visible
is the invisible; as even where
no tree of freedom grows,
so-called brute courage knows.”
― Marianne Moore, Complete Poems

“My journey through Magee’s Disease was difficult and brought an understanding about what is wrong with the USA. Any company that is hiring workers into known toxic jobs that require them to use company supplied medications and oxygen to treat their “Summit Brain” needs to be shut down by the USA government. Instead, we see the USA government facilitating their toxic corporate culture for the foreseeable future with their construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii. This is being done with the full support of USA government law enforcement, even though working on the very high altitude Mauna Kea makes some of them sick! To build it, they need to arrest the native Hawaiians that regard Mauna Kea as their sacred temple that is being desecrated by corporate science. The main finance to start the TMT project has come from Gordon Moore, the founder of the USA based semiconductor manufacturer Intel.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease

“I have a great deal of respect for Gordon Moore of Intel. We are fellow electrical and electronic engineers and I use many of his Intel products. However, I do see a man that is probably aware he is funding a known biologically toxic astronomy facility atop the most sacred mountain in Hawaii. How ethical is that? Have you ever heard Gordon Moore talk about Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS)? Some of his products are known to aggravate the debilitating condition that many people have started to develop around the world. It is the disease of electricity, electronics and wireless radiation.”
― Steven Magee, Magee’s Disease
