Alan Moore, Watchmen

"Real life is messy, inconsistent, and it's seldom when anything ever really gets resolved. It's taken me a long time to realize that."

"Nite Owl II: But the country's disintegrating. What's happened to America? What's happened to the American dream?The Comedian: It came true. You're lookin' at it."

"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - Who watches the watchmen?"

"We are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later."

"A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?"
