More quotes by Clive Barker
If we have nothing to do but service our own pleasure - because society has taught us that's all we're worth and we're exiled from positions of authority from which we could actually shape society - then we just become hedonists. Eventually, despite how great it may look on Saturday night, come Monday morning there's just purposelessness.
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
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 firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain.
Clive Barker
Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.
Clive Barker
You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.
Clive Barker
After all, where can the glorious, the goofy, and the god-like stand shoulder to shoulder?
Clive Barker
She was a sea: and I had to swim in her.
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
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
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Clive Barker
Have patience the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.
Clive Barker
The world had seen so many Ages: the Age of Enlightenment of Reformation of Reason. Now, at last, the Age of Desire. And after this, an end to Ages an end, perhaps, to everything.
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
Nothing ever begins. There is no first moment no single word or place from which this or any other story springs.
Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
The great grey beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive.
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
My life is in the art that I make, and I'm very happy with it.
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
