We burn so hard, but we shed so little light it makes us crazy and sad.
Clive Barker

Always, worlds within worlds.

Give me B movies or give me death!

Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.

If we have nothing to do but service our own pleasure - because society has taught us that's all we're worth and we're exiled from positions of authority from which we could actually shape society - then we just become hedonists. Eventually, despite how great it may look on Saturday night, come Monday morning there's just purposelessness.

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.

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

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.

What worth was a man who could not be haunted?

By and large I think art is made by people who have discipline married to talent in sufficiently large amounts to work even if they don't feel like it. Anybody can get maudlin and decide to write poetry at 11 at night the question is, can you do it at 8:30 on a Monday morning..?

..She had that brand of pragmatism that would find her the first brewing tea after Armageddon.

Angels have very nasty tempers. Especially when they’re feeling righteous.

One man's pornography is another man's theology.

I firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain.
