When I paint I am ageless, I just have the pleasure or the difficulty of painting.
Francis Bacon
It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man's judgment
Francis Bacon
Truth comes out of error more readily than out of confusion.
