More quotes by Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
One of the things I'm trying to do over and over again in my books is create new mythologies, create new ways to understand the complexity of the world. I think what mythology does is impress upon chaotic experience the patterns, hierarchies and shapes which allow us to interpret the chaos and make fresh sense of it.
Clive Barker
Journey to the end of day, Come the fire-fly, Come the moon Say a prayer for God's good grace And sleep with lore upon your face.
Clive Barker
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
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
Never believe your eyes
Clive Barker
With the inevitability of a tongue returning to probe a painful tooth, we come back and back and back again to our fears, sitting to talk them over with the eagerness of a hungry man before a full and steaming plate.
Clive Barker
By and large I think art is made by people who have discipline married to talent in sufficiently large amounts to work even if they don't feel like it. Anybody can get maudlin and decide to write poetry at 11 at night the question is, can you do it at 8:30 on a Monday morning..?
Clive Barker
Flesh could not keep its glamour, nor eyes their sheen. They would go to nothing soon. But monsters are forever.
Clive Barker
Perhaps sunlight had always been luminous, and doorways signs of greater passage than that of one room to another. But she’d not noticed it until now.
Clive Barker
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
To call you excrement would be an insult to the product of my bowels.
Clive Barker
She was a sea: and I had to swim in her.
Clive Barker
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
I really believe that there is an enormous appetite amongst readers for an originality of vision. In other words, be true to your own dreams and there will always be people who want to hear them.
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
There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.
Clive Barker
What worth was a man who could not be haunted?
Clive Barker
Let the mad find wisdom in their madness for the sane, and let the sane be grateful.
Clive Barker
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
