More quotes by Clive Barker
What worth was a man who could not be haunted?
Clive Barker
A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.
Clive Barker
Your flesh is killing your spirit. You have forsaken yourself.
Clive Barker
Nothing else wounds so deeply and irreparably. Nothing else robs us of hope so much as being unloved by one we love
Clive Barker
Sooner or later even the most ambitious glutton must crawl away and seek the solace of the vomitorium.
Clive Barker
I don't like to make a distinction between the writer and the painter , finally , because I do both things anyway . Everybody's dreaming and trying to put down their dreams in the way that their hand knows best . I feel as much a unity , as much comradeship , with painters as I do writers .
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
I've always thought that sex and horror belonged together.
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
There is no such thing as originality. It has all been said before, suffered before. If a person knows that, is it any wonder love becomes mechanical and death just a scene to be shunned? There is no absolute knowledge to be gained from either. Just another ride on the merry-go-round, another blurred scene of faces smiling and faces grieved.
Clive Barker
Have patience the lovers will suffer lovers always suffer.
Clive Barker
Here is a list of terrible things, The jaws of sharks, a vultures wings The rabid bite of the dogs of war, The voice of one who went before, But most of all the mirror's gaze, Which counts us out our numbered days.
Clive Barker
We're both thieves, Harvey Swick. I take time. You take lives. But in the end we're the same: both Thieves of Always.
Clive Barker
Evil, however powerful it seemed,could be undone by its own appetite
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'm a poet,' the young man said, 'And it's my job to remember the sadness of things.
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
Flesh could not keep its glamour, nor eyes their sheen. They would go to nothing soon. But monsters are forever.
Clive Barker
Often people who are wonderful with animals aren't always terribly good with human beings.
Clive Barker
No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
Clive Barker
