Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.
Clive Barker
Image
I dreamt a limitless book, A book unbound, Its leaves scattered in fantastic abundance On every line there was a new horizon drawn, New heavens supposed New states, new souls.
Clive Barker
Image
How many human eyes...had snatched glimpses of their secret anatomies, down the passage of years?
Clive Barker
Image
Often people who are wonderful with animals aren't always terribly good with human beings.
Clive Barker
Image
Perhaps a wiser eye than hers would be able to read tomorrow in tonight's stars, but where was the fun in that? It was better not to know. Better to be alive in the Here and the Now--in this bright, laughing moment--and let the Hours to come take care of themselves.

One man's pornography is another man's theology.
Clive Barker
Image
Everything is in flux: everything changes the body changes, the soul changes. We are capable of extraordinary self-transmutat ion and internal self-transforma tion.
Clive Barker
Image
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

Behind their eyes the hope was sickening and in many, dead. They lived from event to event with a subtle terror of the gap between, filling up their lives with distractions to avoid the emptiness where curiosity should have been.

Those old hypocrites. They talk about killing witches but the Good Book’s full of magic. Turning the Nile to blood and parting the Red Sea. What’s that if it’s not good old-fashioned magic? Want a little water into wine? No trouble! How about raising the dead man Lazarus? Just say the word!

Flesh could not keep its glamour, nor eyes their sheen. They would go to nothing soon. But monsters are forever.
Clive Barker
Image
Have patience the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.
Clive Barker
Image
Here is a list of terrible things, The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings The rabid bite of the dogs of war, The voice of one who went before, But most of all the mirror's gaze, Which counts us out our numbered days.

What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
Image
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
Image
Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.
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
Image
You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.
Clive Barker
Image
There is no such thing as originality. It has all been said before, suffered before. If a person knows that, is it any wonder love becomes mechanical and death just a scene to be shunned? There is no absolute knowledge to be gained from either. Just another ride on the merry-go-round, another blurred scene of faces smiling and faces grieved.

To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
