Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.

Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.

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.

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.

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.

There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.

It’s only when you’ve lost someone that you realize the nonsense of that phrase “It’s a small world”. It isn’t. It’s a vast, devouring world, especially if you’re alone.
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.

How many human eyes...had snatched glimpses of their secret anatomies, down the passage of years?

Nothing else wounds so deeply and irreparably. Nothing else robs us of hope so much as being unloved by one we love

Believe me, when I say There are no two powers That command the soul. One is God The other is the tide. -Anon From the novel Abarat

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.
