Of the countless pieces that I've read, quotes that have infatuated and infuriated me and publications that I've had the pleasure and displeasure of consuming, Alan Moore stands above all as my favourite author of all.
Alan Moore is one of the immortals of the comics industry, and stands the creator of such works as V for Vendetta, The Leagues of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Promethea, Lost Girls, several series' of Batman and Superman, Marvelman and my favourite work of all time, Watchmen.
He has so many smaller works to his name that I could run a Daily Moore with ease.
However, today's Daily Quota is a small excerpt from a recent interview with Paraphilia Magazine.
In this extract, he discusses (with long, liberal sentences) the importance of art in an increasingly chaotic world. He dismisses the notion that art has no influence in the noise and pragmatism of today
He does, however, place one condition upon its influence - "only if they are genuinely art and literature as opposed to corporate-approved fanfares that only add to the already-deafening level of cultural noise"
The excerpt can be found below, or the full January issue can be downloaded here (free sign-up required).
