There is in human nature generally more of the fool than of the wise.

Envy is ever joined with the comparing of a man's self; and where there is no comparison, no envy.

I use all sorts of things to work with: old brooms, old sweaters, and all kinds of peculiar tools and materials... I paint to excite myself, and make something for myself.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I think that one of the things...

I think that one of the things is that, if you are going to decide to be a painter, you have got to decide that you are not going to be afraid of making a fool of yourself. I think another thing is to be able to find subjects which really absorb you to try and do. I feel that without a subject you automatically go back into decoration because you haven't got the subject which is always eating into you to bring it back - and the greatest art always returns you to the vulnerability of the human situation.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

A little science estranges a man from God;
a lot of science brings him back.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Crafty men condemn studies; Simple men admire them; And wise men use them: For they teach not their own use: but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I would like my pictures to look as if a human being had passed between them, like a snail leaving its trail of the human presence... as a snail leaves its slime.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The natures and dispositions of men are, not without truth, distinguished from the predominance of the planets.

Innovations, which are the births of time.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

A man were better relate himself to a statue or picture than to suffer his thoughts to pass in smother.

I have often thought upon death, and I find it the least of all evils.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

If I sit and daydream, the images rush by like a succession of colored slides.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men, which have sought to express the images of their minds where those of their bodies have failed.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

When any of the four pillars of government-religion, justice, counsel, and treasure-are mainly shaken or weakened, men had need to pray for fair weather.
