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
Image
There is no vice that doth so cover a man with shame as to be found false and perfidious.
Francis Bacon
Image
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted... but to weigh and consider.

the serpent if it wants to become the dragon must eat itself.
Francis Bacon

All of our actions take their hue from the complexion of the heart, as landscapes their variety from light.
