1 " I want a tattoo over my heart that reads TRY HARDER YOU LAZY PARAMEDIC SHITBAG OR I WILL HAUNT YOUR BEDROOM FOREVER "
― Warren Ellis
2 " Dance like you're stamping on a human face forever, love like you've been in a serious car crash that minced the front of your brain, stab like no one can arrest you, and live like there's no such thing as God. "
3 " Did you ever want to set someone's head on fire, just to see what it looked like? Did you ever stand in the street and think to yourself, I could make that nun go blind just by giving her a kiss? Did you ever lay out plans for stitching babies and stray cats into a Perfect New Human? Did you ever stand naked surrounded by people who want your gleaming sperm, squirting frankincense, soma and testosterone from every pore? If so, then you're the bastard who stole my drugs Friday night. And I'll find you. Oh, yes. "
― Warren Ellis , Transmetropolitan, Vol. 5: Lonely City
4 " Drinking is fun! It makes me feel horrible and sexy! "
5 " You're miserable, edgy and tired. You're in the perfect mood for journalism. "
6 " Writer's block? I've heard of this. This is when a writer cannot write, yes? Then that person isn't a writer anymore. I'm sorry, but the job is getting up in the fucking morning and writing for a living. "
7 " Writing comics? Still the best job in the world. I sit around all day making shit up and see it illustrated, in 99% of cases, exactly as I imagined it -- if not better. I've been doing this a long time now, and I'm going to do it until I die. Which probably won't be long, given the constant insane deadline pressure. "
8 " Religion lives not in dogma, but utterly within the virtues of love and self-sacrifice. Without those, there is no future I can bear to stand, nor hope for the continuance of God's creation. It is not blasphemy to say that the work of Jesus the redeemer was and is to break the chains of the realms of darkness. And set free the creature from the power of sin. "
― Warren Ellis , Frankenstein's Womb
9 " These things are going to look primitive to you, but you have to remember that we’re not stupid. We have the same intelligence as you. We simply don’t have the same cumulative knowledge you do. So we apply our intelligence to what we have. "
― Warren Ellis , Crécy
10 " Think about it; the quicktank is given a job most of us would laugh out of town. Build a sophisticated camera capable of full 3-D input and peripheral pickup, using only water and jelly.Build an eye. "
― Warren Ellis , Transmetropolitan, Vol. 2: Lust for Life
11 " The future sneaks up on us. It leaks in through the small, ordinary things. "
12 " The two most dangerous things in the world are rich people and crazy people. "
13 " Time was this place didn’t make sense and I could live with it. Either it’s changed, or I have. "
14 " Mister Sun wondered if he really believed it was true that the heart is just a pump. "
― Warren Ellis , Dead Pig Collector
15 " To be a futurist, in pursuit of improving reality, is not to have your face continually turned upstream, waiting for the future to come. To improve reality is to clearly see where you are, and then wonder how to make that better. "
16 " Being a nun wasn't all it was cracked up to be and the sex was shit. "
― Warren Ellis , Transmetropolitan, Vol. 3: Year of the Bastard
17 " Yesterday, here in the middle of the City, I saw a wolf turn into a Russian ex-gymnast and hand over a business card that read YOUR OWN PERSONAL TRANSHUMAN SECURITY WHORE! STERILIZED INNARDS! ACCEPTS ALL CREDIT CARDS to a large man who had trained attack cancers on his face and possessed seventy-five indentured Komodo Dragons instead of legs. And they had sex. Right in front of me. And six of the Komodo Dragons spat napalm on my new shoes. "
18 " That was a stupid idea I made up while drunk. Why did someone build that? "
19 " Yeah, trust the fuckhead. "
― Warren Ellis , Transmetropolitan, Vol. 1: Back on the Street
20 " The best gifts are never given, but claimed. "
― Warren Ellis , Supreme: Blue Rose
