Image
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Image
The divisions of science are not like different lines that meet in one angle, but rather like the branches of trees that join in one trunk.
Francis Bacon
Image
Photographs are not only points of reference... they're often triggers of ideas.
Francis Bacon
Image
Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.

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.

Man seeketh in society comfort, use and protection.

Francis Bacon
Image
Time is the greatest innovator.
Francis Bacon
Image
Certainly virtue is like precious odors, most fragrant when they are incensed, or crushed: for prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.

Francis Bacon
Image
Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Francis Bacon
Image
Never any knowledge was delivered in the same order it was invented.
Francis Bacon
Image
Croesus said to Cambyses That peace was better than war because in peace the sons did bury their fathers, but in wars the fathers did bury their sons.

Image
A bad man is worse when he pretends to be a saint.
Francis Bacon
Image
It cannot be that axioms established by argumentation should avail for the discovery of new works, since the subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of argument. But axioms duly and orderly formed from particulars easily discover the way to new particulars, and thus render sciences active.
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
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
Reading maketh a full man.
