Alan Moore Quotes

The real truth that dare not speak itself, is that no one is in control, absolutely no one... Nobody is in control. This stuff is ruled by the equations of dynamics and chaos. Now, there may be entities seeking control - the World Bank, the Communist Party, the rich, the somebody-or-others - but to seek control is to take enormous aggravation upon yourself... It's like trying to control a dream.

Everything is contingent, and there is also chaos.

What we imagine is order is merely the prevailing form of chaos.

Zippy accepts chaos as what it is, which is the real order of everything.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.

Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.

There is no order in the world around us, we must adapt ourselves to the requirements of chaos instead

History is much more the product of chaos than of conspiracy.

We're not yet in a multipolar world. We are in a chaotic world.... We live in a world where the dangers are real for all of us.

We live in a... chaotic world.

There is no way to order chaos. It's the fundamental theory at the beginning and end of everything; it's the ultimate law of nature. There's no way to win against unpredictability, to suit up completely against accidents.

If we had the fundamental laws of nature tomorrow, we still wouldn't understand consciousness. We wouldn't even understand turbulence.

I have to wait and see what happens. Because nobody's in charge.

Chaos is what we have. That is what I believe.

'Entropy' broadly means tending towards chaos constantly.

I think it is a burden... that we constantly realise that there isn't that much rhyme or reason to why something happens. If we think about that too much, it can make all of our decisions very stressful.

You can't predict what's gonna happen, you can't predict if people are going to participate, you can't predict if there'll be interference.

Only in chaos are we conceivable.

I don't think there is such a thing as as a real prophet. You can never predict the future. We know why now, of course; chaos theory, which I got very interested in, shows you can never predict the future.

They believed that prediction was just a function of keeping track of things. If you knew enough, you could predict anything. That's been cherished scientific belief since Newton.' And?' Chaos theory throws it right out the window.

These are mad times, but there have been a lot of mad times in the world.

Three reasons problems are inevitable; first, we live in a world of growing complexity and diversity; second, we interact with people; and third, we cannot control all the situation we face.

Control is an illusion.
