More quotes by Clive Barker
The world had seen so many Ages: the Age of Enlightenment of Reformation of Reason. Now, at last, the Age of Desire. And after this, an end to Ages an end, perhaps, to everything.
Clive Barker
Always, worlds within worlds.
Clive Barker
So we make stories of our own, in fevered and envious imitation of our Maker, hoping that we'll tell, by chance, what God left untold. And finishing our tale, come to understand why we were born.
Clive Barker
Behind their eyes the hope was sickening and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been.
Clive Barker
Never believe your eyes
Clive Barker
I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.
Clive Barker
Flesh could not keep its glamour, nor eyes their sheen. They would go to nothing soon. But monsters are forever.
Clive Barker
I've learned two things in my life. One that love is the beginning and end of all meaning. And two that it is the same thing whatever shape our souls have taken on this journey. Love is love. Is love.
Clive Barker
Sooner or later even the most ambitious glutton must crawl away and seek the solace of the vomitorium.
Clive Barker

Clive Barker
Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.
Clive Barker
You’ve always got me” “Always?” “Didn’t I just say so?” “Yes” “Am I liar? “ “No.” I lied.
Clive Barker
A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.
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
Here is a list of terrible things, The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings The rabid bite of the dogs of war, The voice of one who went before, But most of all the mirror's gaze, Which counts us out our numbered days.
Clive Barker
Angels have very nasty tempers. Especially when they’re feeling righteous.
Clive Barker
Often people who are wonderful with animals aren't always terribly good with human beings.
Clive Barker
..She had that brand of pragmatism that would find her the first brewing tea after Armageddon.
Clive Barker
There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.
Clive Barker
I can see in your eyes that there’s no seam of untapped joy left in you. The best of life has come and gone. Those days when sudden epiphanies swept over you, and you had visions of the rightness of all things and of your place amongst them they’re history. You’re in a darker place now.
Clive Barker
