Francis Bacon
To say that a man lieth, is as much to say, as that he is brave towards God, and a coward towards men.
Francis Bacon
Knowledge is power.
Francis Bacon
Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves the insects are eating each other violence is a part of life.
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
