More quotes by Clive Barker
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
Clive Barker
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
Clive Barker
Always, worlds within worlds.
Clive Barker
Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.
Clive Barker
Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.
Clive Barker
One of the things I'm trying to do over and over again in my books is create new mythologies, create new ways to understand the complexity of the world. I think what mythology does is impress upon chaotic experience the patterns, hierarchies and shapes which allow us to interpret the chaos and make fresh sense of it.
Clive Barker
My life is in the art that I make, and I'm very happy with it.
Clive Barker
I'm a poet,' the young man said, 'And it's my job to remember the sadness of things.
Clive Barker
With the inevitability of a tongue returning to probe a painful tooth, we come back and back and back again to our fears, sitting to talk them over with the eagerness of a hungry man before a full and steaming plate.
Clive Barker
Have patience the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.
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
I'm a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die-it's a major offence.
Clive Barker
Gather experience... Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this.
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
The extraordinary's the norm.
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
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 firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain.
Clive Barker
Journey to the end of day, Come the fire-fly, Come the moon Say a prayer for God's good grace And sleep with lore upon your face.
Clive Barker
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..?
