The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness. It is not like a drug it is a particular state when everything happens very quickly, a mixture of consciousness and unconsciousness , of fear and pleasure it's a little like making love, the physical act of love.
Francis Bacon

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
The root of all superstition is that men observe when a thing hits, but not when it misses.
Francis Bacon
Image
Velazquez found the perfect balance between the ideal illustration which he was required to produce, and the overwhelming emotion he aroused in the spectator.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great changes are easier than small ones.
Francis Bacon
Image
Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little, and therefore men should remedy suspicion by procuring to know more, and not keep their suspicions in smother.
Francis Bacon
Image
Reading maketh a full man and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if a man write little, he need have a present wit and if he read little, he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.
Francis Bacon
