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
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
Many a man's strength is in opposition, and when he faileth, he grows out of use.
Francis Bacon
The genius of any single man can no more equal learning, than a private purse hold way with the exchequer.
Francis Bacon
You can't be more horrific than life itself.
Francis Bacon
I usually accept bribes from both sides so that tainted money can never influence my decision.
Francis Bacon
Certainly the best works, and of greatest merit for the public, have proceeded from the unmarried, or childless men.
Francis Bacon
God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given us, on this side of the grave.
Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon
Come home to men's business and bosoms.
Francis Bacon
The partitions of knowledge are not like several lines that meet in one angle, and so touch not in a point but are like branches of a tree, that meet in a stem, which hath a dimension and quantity of entireness and continuance, before it come to discontinue and break itself into arms and boughs.
Francis Bacon
Praise is the reflection of virtue.
Francis Bacon
Nothing is to be feared but fear.
Francis Bacon
Opportunity makes a thief.
Francis Bacon
Atheism is rather in the lip, than in the heart of man.
Francis Bacon
Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.
Francis Bacon
If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Francis Bacon
Great Hypocrites are the real atheists.
Francis Bacon
Time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
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.
Francis Bacon
The desire of excessive power caused the angels to fall the desire of knowledge caused men to fall.
Francis Bacon
