Francis Bacon
Image
A good name is like precious ointment it filleth all round about, and will not easily away for the odors of ointments are more durable than those of flowers.

Image
Philosophy when superficially studied, excites doubt, when thoroughly explored, it dispels it.
Francis Bacon
Image
As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.
