Grant Morrison Quotes

I tend to only read comics written by friends or people I’ve known. And I’m not a great comic reader Picture Quote #1

Writers and artists build by hand little worlds that they hope might effect change in real minds, in the real world where stories are read. A story can make us cry and laugh, break our hearts, or make us angry enough to change the world Picture Quote #1

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be Picture Quote #1

Why did you make it so hard for me? I’d rather empty the ocean with a sieve. I do it for you. Or count the grains of sand on every beach. All for you. There are so many people, so many countries. But I have time. All the time in the world. Eternity Picture Quote #1

Life doesn’t have plots and subplots and denouements. It’s just a big collection of loose ends and dangling threads that never get explained Picture Quote #1

And that’s why people read comics, to get away from the way life works, which is quite cruel and unheroic and ends in death Picture Quote #1

Metaphor is one of a group of problem solving medicines known as figures of speech which are normally used to treat literal thinking and other diseases Picture Quote #1

I should say I am far more cleverer than any of the people who put me here. As a matter of fact, I could leave any time I wanted. It’s only a doll house after all. Anyway, I don’t mind. I like dolls. Particularly the live ones Picture Quote #1

Superhero science has taught me this: Entire universes fit comfortably inside our skulls. Not just one or two but endless universes can be packed into that dark, wet, and bony hollow without breaking it open from the inside. The space in our heads will stretch to accommodate them all. The real doorway to the fifth dimension was always right here. Inside. That infinite interior space contains all the divine, the alien, and the unworldly we’ll ever need Picture Quote #1

I’m the evil mastermind behind the scenes. I’m the wicked puppeteer who pulls the strings and makes you dance. I’m your writer Picture Quote #1

Hell changes constantly but there are certain consistent landmarks which always stay in the same relation to one another Picture Quote #1

Your head’s like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every God and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things, sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune’s all we are Picture Quote #1

Burnout is grist to the mill. I write every day, for most of the day, so it’s just about turning into metaphor whatever’s going on in my life, in the world, and in my head. Every nightmare, every moment of grief or joy or failure, is a moment I can convert into cash via words Picture Quote #1

I’m lucky to have a job doing something I really love to do, and I’m happy to accept the pressures of relentless deadlines or reader expectations as necessary evils. It’s probably not as stressful as mining coal or leading men into battle Picture Quote #1

There are dozens of unfinished or aborted projects in my files, but I can only assume they don’t get done because they’re not robust enough to struggle through the birth process Picture Quote #1

Unlike novel characters, comic book characters last an eternity. When a character is changed beyond recognition, there’s no longer the merchandising aspect Picture Quote #1

Write comic books if you love comic books so much that you want to write them. Don’t write them like movies. Comics can do a lot of things that movies can’t do, and vice versa Picture Quote #1

Your character that you create in your writing not only represents who you are, but also represents a number of people who you’ve met along the way Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite graphic novels of all time is Grant Morrison’s ‘Earth-2 Picture Quote #1

It’s salt. Why don’t you sprinkle some on me, honey? Aren’t I just good enough to eat? Picture Quote #1

We’ve always known we’d eventually be called upon to open our shirts and save the day, and the superhero was a crude, hopeful attempt to talk about how we all might feel on that day of great power, and great responsibility Picture Quote #1
