Francis Bacon
Image
I don't believe art is available it's rare and curious and should be completely isolated one is more aware of its magic the more it is isolated.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is idle to expect any great advancement in science from the superinducing and engrafting of new things upon old. We must begin anew from the very foundations, unless we would revolve for ever in a circle with mean and contemptible progress.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is a cunning which we in England call the turning of the cat in the pan which is, when that which a man says to another, he says it as if another had said it to him.
Francis Bacon
Image
It is not the lie that passeth through the mind, but the lie that sinketh in and settleth in it, that doth the hurt.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man cannot speak to his son, but as a father to his wife, but as a husband to his enemy, but upon terms: whereas a friend may speak, as the case requires, and not as it sorteth with the person.
Francis Bacon

If we are to achieve things never before accomplished we must employ methods never before attempted
