The zeal which begins with hypocrisy must conclude in treachery at first it deceives, at last it betrays

Francis Bacon
Image

Image
Age appears to be best in four things old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon
Image
When a doubt is once received, men labour rather how to keep it a doubt still, than how to solve it and accordingly bend their wits.
Francis Bacon
Image
If you can talk about it, why paint it?
Francis Bacon
Image
It is rightly laid down that 'true knowledge is knowledge by causes'. Also the establishment of four causes is not bad: material, formal, efficient and final.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great art is always a way of concentrating, reinventing what is called fact, what we know of our existence- a reconcentration… tearing away the veils, the attitudes people acquire of their time and earlier time. Really good artists tear down those veils
