More quotes by Clive Barker
Well, it was most likely too late there would not be time for me to flagellate myself for every dishonorable deed in that list, nor any chance to make good the harms I’d done. Minor harms, to be sure, in the scheme of things but large enough to regret.
Clive Barker
You'll learn, honey. Love can be the best thing in life. And it can be the worst. The absolute worst.
Clive Barker
For a writer, and particularly a writer of my genre, which is the fantastical, I think that it's to my advantage to feel remote from and disconnected from the world of deal making.
Clive Barker
There is no such thing as originality. It has all been said before, suffered before. If a person knows that, is it any wonder love becomes mechanical and death just a scene to be shunned? There is no absolute knowledge to be gained from either. Just another ride on the merry-go-round, another blurred scene of faces smiling and faces grieved.
Clive Barker
We are all our own graveyards, I believe we squat amongst the tombs of the people we were. If we're healthy, every day is a celebration, a Day of the Dead, in which we give thanks for the lives that we lived, and if we are neurotic we brood and mourn and wish that the past was still present.
Clive Barker
We're both thieves, Harvey Swick. I take time. You take lives. But in the end we're the same: both Thieves of Always.
Clive Barker
I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.
Clive Barker
Life is short And pleasures few And holed the ship And drowned the crew But o! But o! How very blue the sea is.
Clive Barker
It’s only when you’ve lost someone that you realize the nonsense of that phrase “It’s a small world”. It isn’t. It’s a vast, devouring world, especially if you’re alone.
Clive Barker
One man's pornography is another man's theology.
Clive Barker
I've always thought that sex and horror belonged together.
Clive Barker
I really believe that there is an enormous appetite amongst readers for an originality of vision. In other words, be true to your own dreams and there will always be people who want to hear them.
Clive Barker
To call you excrement would be an insult to the product of my bowels.
Clive Barker
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
Clive Barker
With the inevitability of a tongue returning to probe a painful tooth, we come back and back and back again to our fears, sitting to talk them over with the eagerness of a hungry man before a full and steaming plate.
Clive Barker
You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.
Clive Barker
It was as though in these last minutes together - when they had so much to say - they could say nothing of the least significance, for fear it open the floodgates.
Clive Barker
The paintings of Francis Bacon to my eye are very beautiful. The paintings of Bosch or Goya are to my eye very beautiful. I've also stood in front of those same paintings with people who've said, 'let's get on to the Botticellis as soon as possible.' I have lingered, of course.
Clive Barker
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Clive Barker
Angels have very nasty tempers. Especially when they’re feeling righteous.
