There are things that are more important than the news and whatโs happening today. There are these archetypes which are part of the human imagination since humans were presumably imaginative. And I think thatโs what [people] find touching, these eternal ideas. Itโs one of the things that makes fantasy something that tends to stand the test of time because weโre reading, 50 years later, The Lord of the Rings.
Clive BarkerI'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.

Clive Barkerโ"Magic is the first and last religion of the world. It has the power to make us whole, to open our eyes to the Dominions and return us to ourselves. Everything that isn't us is also ourselves. We're joined to everything that was, is and will be. From one end of the Imajica to another. From the tiniest mote dancing over this flame to the Godhead Itself.
