Image
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
Image
It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
The human understanding is no dry light, but receives an infusion from the will and affections... What a man had rather were true he more readily believes.
Francis Bacon
Image
Because the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude which satisfieth the mind of man, poesy feigneth acts and events greater and more heroical.
Francis Bacon
Image
Riches are for spending.
Francis Bacon
Image
Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.
Francis Bacon
Image
I work for posterity, these things requiring ages for their accomplishment.
Francis Bacon
Image
Virtue is like precious odours,-most fragrant when they are incensed or crushed.
Francis Bacon
Image
I had rather believe all the Fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind.
Francis Bacon
Image
Jesus would have been one of the best photographers that ever existed. He was always looking at the beauty of people souls. In fact Jesus was constantly making pictures of God in people's life by looking at their souls and exposing them to his light.
Francis Bacon
Image
The rising unto place is laborious, and by pains men come to greater pains and it is sometimes base, and by indignities men come to dignities. The standing is slippery, and the regress is either a downfall, or at least an eclipse.
Francis Bacon
Image
Good fame is like fire when you have kindled you may easily preserve it but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis Bacon
Image
Without friends the world is but a wilderness.
Francis Bacon
Image
My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father to his wife, but as a husband to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.
Francis Bacon
Image
For no man can forbid the spark nor tell whence it may come.
Francis Bacon
Image
It has well been said that the arch-flatterer, with whom all petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man's self.
Francis Bacon
Image
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
Francis Bacon
Image
It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
Francis Bacon
Image
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the Infinite.
