firsts language consciousness
Language comes first. It's not that language grows out of consciousness, if you haven't got language, you can't be conscious.
anarchy chaos vendetta
This is not anarchy, Eve. This is chaos.
littles
I have so very much. I have so very little.
certain one-thing
For whatever the future holds, one thing is certain... It just won't be the same.
trying entertainment television
I try to do things in comics that cannot be repeated by television, by movies, by interactive entertainment.
love-you mean heart
But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you.
names evil done
When the persecution of an individual who has exposed an evil is pursued so ruthlessly and yet the evil itself is studiedly ignored, all of us know that there is something very wrong with the way that our society is conducting itself. And if we do not protest in the strongest terms about what is being done in our name, then we become complicit.
sex moral wells
It wasn't so much all the sex that robbed me of my moral bearings, but all the narcotics. I must say, there's something about opium that goes very well with lesbianism.
rain california cupcakes
Things are tough all over, cupcake, an' it rains on the just an' the unjust alike...except in California.
hurt real past
The past can't hurt you anymore. Not unless you let it. They made you into a victim, Evey. They made you into a statistic. But, that's not the real you. That's not who you are inside.
years mad people
I've known a lot of people go mad over the years, and it is more distressing than people dying. People dying is quite natural, people going mad is the complete antithesis of that.
mind phantoms geography
Material existence is entirely founded on a phantom realm of mind, whose nature and geography are unexplored.
reality ideas mind
The Here-and-Now demands attention, is more present to us. We dismiss the inner world of our ideas as less important, although most of our immediate physical reality originated only in the mind. The TV, sofa, clock and room, the whole civilisation that contains them once were nothing save ideas.
character hard-times careers
Judged by the stark, sure-footed portrait in Hard Time, Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben clearly have John Constantine down, cold and to the life. Azzarellos grasp of pacing, character and situation resonates through every scene with a black crystal clarity thats short of masterful, while Corben contributes what is, perhaps, one of the most darkly expressive pieces in a long, already-legendary career.
