More quotes by Clive Barker

Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd travelled some extraordinary roads.

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
Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.
Clive Barker
The great grey beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive.
Clive Barker
All I ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night
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
I don't take accusations of selling out lightly.
Clive Barker
A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.
