The mold of our fortunes is in our own hands.
Francis Bacon
Image
Truth ... is the sovereign good of human nature.
Francis Bacon
Image
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.

Francis Bacon
Image

States are great engines moving slowly.
Francis Bacon
Image
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
Image
There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power.
Francis Bacon
Image
You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it.
Francis Bacon
Image
I loathe my own face, and I've done self-portraits because I've had nobody else to do.
Francis Bacon
Image
Salomon saith, There is no new thing upon the earth. So that as Plato had an imagination, that all knowledge was but remembrance so Salomon giveth his sentence, that all novelty is but oblivion.
