More quotes by Clive Barker
Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd travelled some extraordinary roads.
Clive Barker
We burn so hard, but we shed so little light it makes us crazy and sad.
Clive Barker
Evil, however powerful it seemed,could be undone by its own appetite
Clive Barker
Nothing ever begins. There is no first moment no single word or place from which this or any other story springs.
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 haven't even had a life I could call my own, and you're ready to slot me into the grand design. Well, I don't think I want to go. I want to be my own design.
Clive Barker
Never believe your eyes
Clive Barker
There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.
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
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
Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.
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
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it.
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
How many human eyes...had snatched glimpses of their secret anatomies, down the passage of years?
Clive Barker
I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.
Clive Barker
She was a sea: and I had to swim in her.
Clive Barker
Darkness always had its part to play. Without it, how would we know when we walked in the light? It’s only when its ambitions become too grandiose that it must be opposed, disciplined, sometimes—if necessary—brought down for a time. Then it will rise again, as it must.
Clive Barker
