Clive Barker Quotes About Vision

Quotes about: Vision

• I can see in your eyes that there’s no seam of untapped joy left in you. The best of life has come and gone. Those days when sudden epiphanies swept over you, and you had visions of the rightness of all things and of your place amongst them; they’re history. You’re in a darker place now.

  Clive Barker

  Eye, Joy, Over You

• The whole point about vision is that it's very individual, it's very personal, and it has to be confessional. It has to be something which hurts - the pulling out of it and putting it on the page hurts. Art can be about the individual writer's response to his or her condition, and if that response comes out of a predigested belief about what the audience wants to hear about the writer's condition, then it has no truth, it has no validity. You either write with your own blood or nobody's. Otherwise it's just ink.

  Art, Hurt, Writing

• 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

  Unique, Simple, Ideas

• 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.
