Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people`s plates.

More quotes by Francis Bacon
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
The human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of things by mingling its own nature with it.
Francis Bacon
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge fitter for execution than for counsel and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Francis Bacon
Death is a friend of ours and he that is not ready to entertain him is not at home.
Francis Bacon
Money is a good servant, a dangerous master.
Francis Bacon
All superstition is much the same whether it be that of astrology, dreams, omen, retributive judgment, or the like, in all of which the deluded believers observe events which are fulfilled, but neglect and pass over their failure, though it be much more common.
Francis Bacon
Houses are built to live in, and not to look on: therefore let use be preferred before uniformity.
Francis Bacon
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
Francis Bacon
Every person born in the USA is endowed with life, liberty, and a substantial share of the national debt.
Francis Bacon
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men.
Francis Bacon
You want accuracy, but not representation. If you know how to make the figuration, it doesn't work. Anything you can make, you make by accident. In painting, you have to know what you do, not how, when you do it.
Francis Bacon
The dignity of this end of endowment of man's life with new commodity appeareth by the estimation that antiquity made of such as guided thereunto for whereas founders of states, lawgivers, extirpators of tyrants, fathers of the people, were honoured but with the titles of demigods, inventors ere ever consecrated among the gods themselves.
Francis Bacon
In one and the same fire, clay grows hard and wax melts.
Francis Bacon
What is truth? said jesting Pilate and would not stay for an answer.
Francis Bacon
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 do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Francis Bacon
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
The place of justice is a hallowed place.
Francis Bacon
The person is a poor judge who by an action can be disgraced more in failing than they can be honored in succeeding.
Francis Bacon
The bee enclosed and through the amber shown Seems buried in the juice which was his own.
Francis Bacon
