Life is short And pleasures few And holed the ship And drowned the crew But o! But o! How very blue the sea is.

More quotes by Clive Barker
Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd travelled some extraordinary roads.
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
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
One man's pornography is another man's theology.
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
I've always thought that sex and horror belonged together.
Clive Barker
What worth was a man who could not be haunted?
Clive Barker
Angels have very nasty tempers. Especially when they’re feeling righteous.
Clive Barker
My feet are killing me. I knew somebody who had feet like that. They'd walk all over him. Archie Kashanian was his name. He used to wake up with footprints all over his chest, all over his face. It was the death of him, finally.
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
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
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
Horror fiction shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.
Clive Barker
Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.
Clive Barker
Everything is in flux: everything changes the body changes, the soul changes. We are capable of extraordinary self-transmutat ion and internal self-transforma tion.
Clive Barker
She was a sea: and I had to swim in her.
Clive Barker
The extraordinary's the norm.
Clive Barker
Why'd you want to sing about sad things? Candy had asked him. Because any fool can be happy, he'd said to her. It takes a man with real heart —he'd made a fist and laid it against his chest— to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.
Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.
