We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands. For have not the verses of Homer continued twenty-five hundred years or more, without the loss of a syllable or letter during which time infinite palaces, temples, castles, cities have been decayed and demolished?

Photographs are not only points of reference... they're often triggers of ideas.
Francis Bacon
Image
A forbidden writing is thought to be a certain spark of truth, that flies up in the face of them who seek to tread it out.

Nothing is to be feared but fear.
Francis Bacon
Image
For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocence, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.
Francis Bacon

If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
Francis Bacon

If we are to achieve things never before accomplished we must employ methods never before attempted
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
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.

Riches are for spending.
Francis Bacon
Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.
Francis Bacon
Image
The person is a poor judge who by an action can be disgraced more in failing than they can be honored in succeeding.
Francis Bacon
Image
There was never law, or sect, or opinion did so much magnify goodness, as the Christian religion doth.
Francis Bacon
Image
I use all sorts of things to work with: old brooms, old sweaters, and all kinds of peculiar tools and materials... I paint to excite myself, and make something for myself.
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
Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Francis Bacon

Boldness is a child of ignorance
Francis Bacon
Image
Upon a given body to generate and superinduce a new nature or new natures is the work and aim of human power. To discover the Form of a given nature, or its true difference, or its causal nature, or fount of its emanation... this is the work and aim of human knowledge.

I don't think people are born artists I think it comes from a mixture of your surroundings, the people you meet, and luck.
