More quotes by Clive Barker
I don't take accusations of selling out lightly.
Clive Barker
To call you excrement would be an insult to the product of my bowels.
Clive Barker
For a writer, and particularly a writer of my genre, which is the fantastical, I think that it's to my advantage to feel remote from and disconnected from the world of deal making.
Clive Barker
To you who have never died, may I say: Welcome to the world!
Clive Barker
What worth was a man who could not be haunted?
Clive Barker
You just have to trust your own madness.
Clive Barker
Never believe your eyes
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
By and large I think art is made by people who have discipline married to talent in sufficiently large amounts to work even if they don't feel like it. Anybody can get maudlin and decide to write poetry at 11 at night the question is, can you do it at 8:30 on a Monday morning..?
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
Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.
Clive Barker
I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.
Clive Barker
Always, worlds within worlds.
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
All I ever wanted to do is darken the day and brighten the night
Clive Barker
Everybody is a book of blood wherever we're opened, we're red.
Clive Barker
After all, where can the glorious, the goofy, and the god-like stand shoulder to shoulder?
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
The great grey beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive.
Clive Barker
I haven't even had a life I could call my own, and you're ready to slot me into the grand design. Well, I don't think I want to go. I want to be my own design.
Clive Barker
