More quotes by 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
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
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.
Clive Barker
What worth was a man who could not be haunted?
Clive Barker
Have patience the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.
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
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
The extraordinary's the norm.
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
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
Walk with care in dark places, and do not put your faith in anyone who promises you the forgiveness of the Lord or a certain place in Paradise.
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
Darkness always had its part to play. Without it, how would we know when we walked in the light? It’s only when its ambitions become too grandiose that it must be opposed, disciplined, sometimes—if necessary—brought down for a time. Then it will rise again, as it must.
Clive Barker
Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.
Clive Barker
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
Always, worlds within worlds.
Clive Barker
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Clive Barker
The great grey beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive.
Clive Barker
I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.
Clive Barker
Angels have very nasty tempers. Especially when they’re feeling righteous.
