More quotes by 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
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
Clive Barker
Evil, however powerful it seemed,could be undone by its own appetite
Clive Barker
Wherever I go, I will speak of you with love.
Clive Barker
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
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
I don't take accusations of selling out lightly.
Clive Barker
One man's pornography is another man's theology.
Clive Barker
You just have to trust your own madness.
Clive Barker
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
Clive Barker
I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.
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
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
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
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
I've always thought that sex and horror belonged together.
Clive Barker
Often people who are wonderful with animals aren't always terribly good with human beings.
Clive Barker
You must be careful with kindness. It's usually mistaken for weakness by stupid people.
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
The great grey beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive.
