“Individual humans are not super, but the organism of which we are all tiny cellular parts is most certainly that. The life-form that's so big we forget it's there, that turns minerals on its planet into tools to touch the infinite black gap between stars or probe the obliterating pressures at the bottom of the oceans. We are already part of a superbeing, a monster, a god, a living process that is so all encompassing that it is to an individual life what water is to a fish. We are cells in the body of a three-billion-year-old life-form whose roots are in the Precambrian oceans and whose genetic wiring extends through the living structures of everything on the planet, connecting everything that has ever lived in one immense nervous system.”

“No matter how shitty things are, you can always get a song out of it.”
Grant Morrison, Flex Mentallo, Man of Muscle Mystery“He read me extracts from a medical journal describing the progress of a staphylococcus aureus infection. And then he pleasured me with a potato.”
Grant Morrison“So I sang out the barbarous words - karaoke from Hell.”
Grant Morrison, Nameless“Ours is an overpopulated, under educated, shithole in the throes of mass extinctions - it's a wonderful world.”
Grant Morrison, Nameless“I suggested in my last sermon that if Oolon Colluphid had tracked down the "God" who had left a message in five mile high letters of fire on the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains, he still wouldn't have found the person who actually created the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy – namely, Douglas Adams. Dorothy L. Sayers pressed the idea that "God is like an author" quite hard, and C.S. Lewis practically broke it. It's also been used by Mr Grant Morrison and Mr David Sim. But seriously. You "brights" will understand us Christians much better once you've grasped that when we talk about "God", we are thinking of something much less like a fairy and much more like a Douglas.”
Andrew Rilstone, Where Dawkins Went Wrong“One must commit acts of the highest treason only when dressed in the most resplendent finery.”
Grant Morrison, Sebastian O“Enough madness? Enough? And how do you measure madness? - The Joker”
Grant Morrison, Batman: Arkham Asylum“Modern man has successfully razed the imaginative landscapes of primal peoples the whole world over. Kill the gods first, slaughter the sacred animals, rewrite the mythologies, and build roads through the holy places. Do all this and watch the people decline. Without souls, they soon die, leaving dead shells, zombie cultures, shambling aimlessly towards oblivion.”
Grant Morrison, Doom Patrol, Vol. 6: Planet Love“It's always the same with lost people; you start out looking for them, and you end up losing yourself.”
Grant Morrison, Doom Patrol, Vol. 3: Down Paradise Way“Madness is born in the blood. It is my birthright.”
