Image
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
Francis Bacon
Image
Mysteries are due to secrecy.
Francis Bacon
Image
Painting gave meaning to my life which without it would not have had
Francis Bacon
Image
Nor is mine a trumpet which summons and excites men to cut each other to pieces with mutual contradictions, or to quarrel and fight with one another but rather to make peace between themselves, and turning with united forces against the Nature of Things
Francis Bacon
Image
Some artists leave remarkable things which, a 100 years later, don't work at all. I have left my mark my work is hung in museums, but maybe one day the Tate Gallery or the other museums will banish me to the cellar... you never know.

The folly of one man is the fortune of another.
Francis Bacon
Image
But men must know, that in this theatre of man's life it is reserved only for God and angels to be lookers on.

A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made.
Francis Bacon
Image
Boldness is a child of ignorance
Francis Bacon
Image
It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.
Francis Bacon
Image
Science is but an image of the truth.
Francis Bacon
Image
The cause and root of nearly all evils in the sciences is this-that while we falsely admire and extol the powers of the human mind we neglect to seek for its true helps.
Francis Bacon
Image
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Image
Journeys at youth are part of the education but at maturity, are part of the experience.
Francis Bacon
Image
My painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis Bacon
Image
The remedy is worse than the disease.
Francis Bacon
Image
God has, in fact, written two books, not just one. Of course, we are all familiar with the first book he wrote, namely Scripture. But he has written a second book called creation.
Francis Bacon
Image
Very few people have a natural feeling for painting, and so, of course, they naturally think that painting is an expression of the artist's mood. But it rarely is. Very often he may be in greatest despair and be painting his happiest paintings.
