A man that hath no virtue in himself, ever envieth virtue in others. For men's minds, will either feed upon their own good, or upon others' evil and who wanteth the one, will prey upon the other and whoso is out of hope, to attain to another's virtue, will seek to come at even hand, by depressing another's fortune.

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
Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.
Francis Bacon
Image
Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.
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.
Francis Bacon
Image
Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.
Francis Bacon
Image
I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.

You can't be more horrific than life itself.
