Clive Barker Quotes on Life

6 quotes

  1. Every body is a book of blood; Wherever we're opened, we're red.

  2. At best you can hold death at bay, you can pretend it isn't there; but to deny it totally is a sickness. And I think that horror fiction is one of the ways to approach these problems, and, perversely perhaps, to enjoy a vicarious confrontation with them.

  3. Be regular and orderly in your life, that you may be violent and original in your work.

  4. Being gay is a spectacular irrelevance to getting on with your life.

  5. Here is a list of fearful things: The jaws of sharks, a vulture's wings, The rabid bite of the dog's of war, The voice of one who went before. But most of all the mirror's gaze, which counts us out our numbered days.

  6. Life is short, and pleasures few, and holed the ship, and drowned the crew, But O! But O! How very blue the sea is!
