Alan Moore
“I wanted to kind of make this like, 'Yeah, this is what Batman would be in the real world'. But I had forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans, that smelling, not having a girlfriend—these are actually kind of heroic! So actually, sort of, Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I meant him to be a bad example. But I have people come up to me in the street saying, "I am Rorschach! That is my story!' And I'll be thinking: 'Yeah, great, can you just keep away from me, never come anywhere near me again as long as I live'?”
Alan Moore

F.H. Bradley
“1.
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
2.
The world is the best of all possible worlds, and everything in it is a necessary evil.
3.
There are those who so dislike the nude that they find something indecent in the naked truth.
4.
Eclecticism. Every truth is so true that any truth must be false.
5.
True penitence condemns to silence. What a man is ready to recall he would be willing to repeat.
6.
We say that a girl with her doll anticipates the mother. It is more true, perhaps, that most mothers are still but children with playthings.
7.
Our live experiences, fixed in aphorisms, stiffen into cold epigrams. Our heart's blood, as we write it, turns to mere dull ink.”
F.H. Bradley

Mark Twain
“The best cure for Christianity is reading the Bible. –Mark Twain”
Mark Twain

Thomas Reid
“Suppose a man be found dead on the highway, his skull fractured, his body pierced with deadly wounds, his watch and money carried off. The coroner's jury sits upon the body, and the question is put, what was the cause of this man's death...? Let us suppose an adept in Mr. Hume's philosophy to make one of the jury, and that he insists upon the previous question, whether there was any cause of the event, or whether it happened without a cause? Surely, upon Mr. Hume's principles, a great deal might be said upon this point...But we may venture to say, that, if Mr. Hume had been of such a jury, he would have laid aside his philosophical principles, and acted according to the dictates of common prudence.”
Thomas Reid, Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man, Vol. 1

Emil M. Cioran
“It is no nation that we inhabit, but a language. Make no mistake; our native toungue is our true fatherland.”
Emil Cioran
