More quotes by Clive Barker
I firmly believe that a story is only as good as the villain.
Clive Barker
I'm a poet,' the young man said, 'And it's my job to remember the sadness of things.
Clive Barker
Fear is a place where you just tell the truth
Clive Barker
We are all our own graveyards, I believe we squat amongst the tombs of the people we were. If we're healthy, every day is a celebration, a Day of the Dead, in which we give thanks for the lives that we lived, and if we are neurotic we brood and mourn and wish that the past was still present.
Clive Barker
Writing about the unholy is one way of writing about what is sacred.
Clive Barker
Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.
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.

Give me B movies or give me death!
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
Keep it simple. Trust your imagination. Discover what is unique about your imagination. Don't simply read a story and copy it. I go into myself. Then I transcribe what visions I have. If those ideas are original, and you are devoted, you will go far.
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
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
There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.
Clive Barker
All I ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night
Clive Barker
Well, it was most likely too late there would not be time for me to flagellate myself for every dishonorable deed in that list, nor any chance to make good the harms I’d done. Minor harms, to be sure, in the scheme of things but large enough to regret.
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
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
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
Clive Barker
Maybe the man had taken the wrong turning, but at least he'd travelled some extraordinary roads.
