More quotes by Clive Barker

Clive Barker
All I ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night

Clive Barker
So we make stories of our own, in fevered and envious imitation of our Maker, hoping that we'll tell, by chance, what God left untold. And finishing our tale, come to understand why we were born.
Clive Barker
I've dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I'm determined not to be that.
Clive Barker
We burn so hard, but we shed so little light it makes us crazy and sad.
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
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
Have patience the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.
Clive Barker
I know that I want to bring sex and horror together as I have been able to in my books.
Clive Barker
The extraordinary's the norm.
Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
Sooner or later even the most ambitious glutton must crawl away and seek the solace of the vomitorium.
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
