Clive Barker Quotes

I’ve dealt with a lot of producers who were pricks and I’m determined not to be that Picture Quote #1

The paintings of Francis Bacon to my eye are very beautiful. The paintings of Bosch or Goya are to my eye very beautiful. I’ve also stood in front of those same paintings with people who’ve said, ‘let’s get on to the Botticellis as soon as possible.’ I have lingered, of course Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

O little one, My little one, Come with me, Your life is done. Forget the future, Forget the past. Life is over: Breathe your last Picture Quote #1

Mutilation is the badge that can never be taken off, and sets us apart from all others. Pain is important to the bonding-a physical horror that bonds us ever tighter to all those who have partaken. The intensity of the experience helps to widen the gulf between us and those who have not shared Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t like PG-13 horror movies. I think they’re a contradiction in terms Picture Quote #1

I remember when I watched ‘Hellraiser’ with my mother. She cried when she saw my name in the opening credits, and I had to tell her that that was the happiest she was going to be for the next two hours Picture Quote #1

One of the things I’m trying to do over and over again in my books is create new mythologies, create new ways to understand the complexity of the world. I think what mythology does is impress upon chaotic experience the patterns, hierarchies and shapes which allow us to interpret the chaos and make fresh sense of it Picture Quote #1

Richard Christian Matheson is a master of compression. He knows how to catch a moment in words and convey it straight to the reader’s heart Picture Quote #1

Though I respect hugely the effort and the care and the beauty of games, I want to be working with people who want to create the ‘War and Peace’ of games, the ‘Citizen Kane’ of games, and not just be warming up George Romero Picture Quote #1

Some people think that horror films are some sort of second class filmmaking, and the only way to bypass that thinking is being proud of the fact that we do it Picture Quote #1

Life is short And pleasures few And holed the ship And drowned the crew But o! But o! How very blue the sea is Picture Quote #1

I love meeting people who’ve read my books. The prime reason to be on the planet is to make things I can show to other people: paintings, books, movies Picture Quote #1

I’m a great dog fanatic. My own dog died a little while ago and I take it very personally when things die-it’s a major offence Picture Quote #1

Can you hear me, Todd? There’s an ambulance on its way. For a moment his eyes opened a little wider, and he seemed to be making an effort to concentrate on the face in front of himIt’s Maxine, she saidRemember me? Picture Quote #1

Study nothing except in the knowledge that you already knew it. Worship nothing except in adoration of your true self. And fear nothing except in the certainty that you are your enemy’s begetter and its only hope of healing Picture Quote #1

Gather experience... Look at what you should not look at. A feeling of anxiety is the sure and certain evidence that you should do this Picture Quote #1

I’ve got deeper journeys to take. Metaphysical journeys. Journeys to see Christ. Shaman journeys. It’s what I’ve been elected by God to do Picture Quote #1

I’m not the expert on the great gameplay. I come in for the character design, monsters, atmosphere. I’m not the technician Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel there’s any reason to apologise for having a wicked imagination. I think it’s important as a maker of fantasy and of horror Picture Quote #1

We're too much ourselves. Afraid of letting go of what we are, in case we are nothing, and holding on so tight, we lose everything else Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

We're both thieves, Harvey Swick. I take time. You take lives. But in the end we're the same: both Thieves of Always Picture Quote #1

Nothing else wounds so deeply and irreparably. Nothing else robs us of hope so much as being unloved by one we love Picture Quote #1

Before she could look to find a wound he had control of the vision once again, but like a juggler attempting to hold too many balls in the air catching one meant loosing another Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My imagination is my polestar; I steer by that Picture Quote #1
