O life! An age to the miserable, a moment to the happy.
Francis Bacon
Image
Prosperity discovers vice, adversity discovers virtue.
Francis Bacon
Image
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.
Francis Bacon
Image
Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not a sense of humor to console him for what he is.
Francis Bacon
Image
Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.

If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.
Francis Bacon
Image
I want to make portraits and images. I don't know how. Out of despair, I just use paint anyway. Suddenly the things you make coagulate and take on just the shape you intend. Totally accurate marks, which are outside representational marks.
Francis Bacon

Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
Image
Religion brought forth riches, and the daughter devoured the mother.
Francis Bacon
Image
Nothing opens the heart like a true friend, to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes...and whatever lies upon the heart.
Francis Bacon
Image
There is another ground of hope that must not be omitted. Let men but think over their infinite expenditure of understanding, time, and means on matters and pursuits of far less use and value whereof, if but a small part were directed to sound and solid studies, there is no difficulty that might not be overcome.
Francis Bacon
Image
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the virtue of adversity is fortitude.
Francis Bacon
Image
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
Francis Bacon
Image
Dreams, and predictions of astrology....ought to serve but for winter talk by the fireside.
Francis Bacon
Image
Atheism is rather in the lip, than in the heart of man.
Francis Bacon
