any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

[Horror fiction] shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion.

You have to taste the sour urine before you break the jug.

Sooner or later even the most ...

Sooner or later even the most ambitious glutton must crawl away and seek the solace of the vomitorium.

Mischief nodded. 'It's true,' he conceded. 'You're in the company of eight world-class thieves,' he said, not without a little touch of pride. 'Saints we are not.' But then,' said Deaux-Deaux, 'who is?' he thought on this. 'Besides saints.

Mutilation is the badge that c...

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.

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.

Give me B movies or give me death!

Writing about the unholy is one way of writing about what is sacred.

A man kills the thing he loves...

A man kills the thing he loves, and he must die a little himself.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

His body and his mind went abo...

His body and his mind went about their different businesses. The former, freed from conscious instruction, breathed, rolled, sweated, and digested. The latter went dreaming.

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.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

Perhaps sunlight had always be...

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 175 quotes

Whatever capacity she possesses to supernaturally beguile a human soulЂ'and she possesses manyЂ'she liked his clear-sightedness too well, to blind him that way.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

Did I say that she was beautif...

Did I say that she was beautiful? I was wrong. Beauty is too tame a notion; it evokes only faces in magazines. A lovely eloquence, a calming symmetry; none of that describes this woman's face. So perhaps I should assume I cannot do it justice with words. Suffice it to say that it would break your heart to see her; and it would mend what was broken in the same moment; and you would be twice what you'd been before.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

Well, it was most likely too l...

Well, it was most likely too late; there would not be time for me to flagellate myself for every dishonorable deed in that list, nor any chance to make good the harms I'd done. Minor harms, to be sure, in the scheme of things; but large enough to regret.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

Nothing happens carelessly. We...

Nothing happens carelessly. We're not brought into the world without reason, even though we may never understand the reason. An infant that lives an hour, that dies before it can lay eyes on those who made it, even that soul did not live without purpose: this is my sudden certainty.

Clive Barker 175 quotes

We have great cities to visit:...

We have great cities to visit: New York and Washington, Paris and London; and further east, and older than any of these, the legendary city of Samarkand, whose crumbling palaces and mosques still welcome travelers on the Silk road. Weary of cities? Then we'll take to the wilds. To the islands of Hawaii and the mountains of Japan, to forests where Civil War dead still lie, and stretches of sea no mariner ever crossed. They all have their poetry: the glittering cities and the ruined, the watery wastes and the dusty; I

There must still be room for the falling note, of course. Even in an undying world there are times when beauty passes from sight, or love passes from the heart, and we feel the sorrow of partition.
