Clive Barker Quotes About Pleasure

Quotes about: Pleasure

• Life is short And pleasures few And holed the ship And drowned the crew But o! But o! How very blue the sea is.

  Clive Barker

  Life Is Short, Blue, Sea

  Clive Barker (2011). “Abarat”, p.11, Harper Collins

• Well, here he was. They could save each other, the way the poets promised lovers should. He was mystery, he was darkness, he was all she had dreamed of. And if she would only free him he would service her - oh yes - until her pleasure reached that threshold that, like all thresholds, was a place where the strong grew stronger, and the weak perished. Pleasure was pain there, and vice versa. And he knew it well enough to call it home.

  Clive Barker

  Strong, Pain, Home

  Clive Barker (1991). “The Hellbound Heart”, Voyager

• 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

  Monday, Morning, Night
