Clive Barker

Eventually, despite how great it may look on Saturday night, come Monday morning there's just purposelessness.
Clive Barker
Mischief nodded. 'It's true,' he conceded. 'You're in the company of eight world-class thieves,' he said, not without a little touch of pride. 'Saints we are not.' But then,' said Deaux-Deaux, 'who is?' he thought on this. 'Besides saints.
Clive Barker
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.
Clive Barker
..She had that brand of pragmatism that would find her the first brewing tea after Armageddon.
Clive Barker
My life is in the art that I make, and I'm very happy with it.
Clive Barker
But I think humans are innately religious as a species, so you don't need a specific excuse for examining the perversely unholy.
Clive Barker
Fear is a place where you just tell the truth
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.
Clive Barker
What worth was a man who could not be haunted?
Clive Barker
Sooner or later even the most ambitious glutton must crawl away and seek the solace of the vomitorium.
Clive Barker
His body and his mind went about their different businesses. The former, freed from conscious instruction, breathed, rolled, sweated, and digested. The latter went dreaming.
