More quotes by Clive Barker
You just have to trust your own madness.
Clive Barker
Walk with care in dark places, and do not put your faith in anyone who promises you the forgiveness of the Lord or a certain place in Paradise.
Clive Barker
Perhaps sunlight had always been luminous, and doorways signs of greater passage than that of one room to another. But she’d not noticed it until now.
Clive Barker
Evil, however powerful it seemed,could be undone by its own appetite
Clive Barker
O little one, My little one, Come with me, Your life is done. Forget the future, Forget the past. Life is over: Breathe your last.
Clive Barker
Zombies are the liberal nightmare. Here you have the masses, whom you would love to love, appearing at your front door with their faces falling off and you're trying to be as humane as you possibly can, but they are, after all, eating the cat. And the fear of mass activity, of mindlessness on a national scale, underlies my fear of zombies.
Clive Barker
I firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain.
Clive Barker
We each die countless little deaths on our way to the last. We die out of shame as humiliation. We perish from despair. And, of course, we die for love.
Clive Barker
You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.
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
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
Clive Barker
Books should make somebody look at how they feel, be honest with themselves.
Clive Barker
Gather experience... Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this.
Clive Barker
But I think humans are innately religious as a species, so you don't need a specific excuse for examining the perversely unholy.
Clive Barker
I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.
Clive Barker
Whatever capacity she possesses to supernaturally beguile a human soul—and she possesses many—she liked his clear-sightedness too well, to blind him that way.
Clive Barker
All I ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night
Clive Barker
Never believe your eyes
