Clive Barker
A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.
Clive Barker
Give me B movies or give me death!
Clive Barker
We each die countless little deaths on our way to the last. We die out of shame as humiliation. We perish from despair. And, of course, we die for love.
Clive Barker
I was cured in my new infamy of all the tired wisdom of age. I would never weary into that tired state again - -I swore to myself, I would always be this raw, wet child hereafter.
Clive Barker
There are lives lived for love, and lives lived for art. We, happy band, have chosen the later persuasion.
