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
Truth is a good dog but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
Francis Bacon
A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.
Francis Bacon
The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon
For friends... do but look upon good Books: they are true friends, that will neither flatter nor dissemble.
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
Men ought to find the difference between saltiness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others' memory.
Francis Bacon
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
