I would like my pictures to lo...

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.

Crafty men condemn studies; Si...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

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

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

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

Nothing is to be feared but fear itself. Nothing grievous but to yield to grief.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

I use all sorts of things to w...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

Envy is ever joined with the c...

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

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

It is good discretion not make too much of any man at the first; because one cannot hold out that proportion.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

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

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

The inclination to goodness is...

The inclination to goodness is imprinted deeply in the nature of man.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

All artists are vain, they lon...

All artists are vain, they long to be recognized and to leave something to posterity. They want to be loved, and at the same time they want to be free. But nobody is free.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

Even within the most beautiful...

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

Laws and Institutions Must Go ...

Laws and Institutions Must Go Hand in Hand with the Progress of the Human Mind.

For behavior, men learn it, as they take diseases, one of another.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

The study of nature with a vie...

The study of nature with a view to works is engaged in by the mechanic, the mathematician, the physician, the alchemist, and the magician; but by all as things now are with slight endeavour and scanty success.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

They are the best physicians, ...

They are the best physicians, who being great in learning most incline to the traditions of experience, or being distinguished in practice do not reflect the methods and generalities of art.

Francis Bacon 03.03.2018 03:03:03 1062 quotes

There arises from a bad and unapt formation of words a wonderful obstruction to the mind.
