If the hill will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will go to the hill.
Francis Bacon

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.
Francis Bacon

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Image
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
Image
Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes adversity not without many comforts and hopes.
Francis Bacon
Image
Great boldness is seldom without some absurdity.
Francis Bacon
Image
You see, painting has now become, or all art has now become completely a game, by which man distracts himself. What is fascinating actually is, that it's going to become much more difficult for the artist, because he must really deepen the game to become any good at all.
Francis Bacon

It was well said that envy keeps no holidays.
Francis Bacon
Image
The momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
Francis Bacon
Image
They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Francis Bacon
Image
Such is the way of all superstition, whether in astrology, dreams, omens, divine judgments, or the like wherein men, having a delight in such vanities, mark the events where they are fulfilled, but where they fail, though this happen much oftener.
Francis Bacon
Image
The breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air than in the hand.
Francis Bacon

To be free minded and cheerfully disposed at hours of meat and sleep and of exercise is one of the best precepts of long lasting.
