Anger is certainly a kind of b...

Anger is certainly a kind of baseness; as it appears well in the weakness of those subjects in whom it reigns; children, women, old folks, sick folks. Only men must beware, that they carry their anger rather with scorn, than with fear; so that they may seem rather to be above the injury, than below it; which is a thing easily done, if a man will give law to himself in it.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

A cat will never drown if she sees the shore.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding, when ...

The human understanding, when any preposition has been once laid down... forces everything else to add fresh support and confirmation; and although more cogent and abundant instances may exist to the contrary, yet it either does not observe them or it despises them, or it gets rid of and rejects them by some distinction, with violent and injurious prejudice, rather than sacrifice the authority of its first conclusions.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

It is the peculiar and perpetual error of the human understanding to be more moved and excited by affirmatives than by negatives

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

He that plots to be the only f...

He that plots to be the only figure among ciphers [zeros], is the decay of the whole age.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

As you work, the mood grows on...

As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I should have been, I don't kn...

I should have been, I don't know, a con-man, a robber or a prostitute. But it was vanity that made me choose painting, vanity and chance.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The human understanding of its...

The human understanding of its own nature is prone to suppose the existence of more order and regularity in the world than it finds.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

No artist knows in his own lif...

No artist knows in his own lifetime whether what he does will be the slightest good, because it takes at least seventy-five to a hundred years before the thing begins to sort itself out.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

One always starts work with th...

One always starts work with the subject, no matter how tenuous it is, and one constructs an artificial structure by which one can trap the reality of the subject-matter that one has started from.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

A picture should be a re-creat...

A picture should be a re-creation of an event rather than an illustration of an object; but there is no tension in the picture unless there is a struggle with the object.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

It is a great happiness when men's professions and their inclinations accord.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

If my people look as if they'r...

If my people look as if they're in a dreadful fix, it's because I can't get them out of a technical dilemma.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I loathe my own face, and I've done self-portraits because I've had nobody else to do.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

I've had photographs taken for portraits because I very much prefer working from the photographs than from models... I couldn't attempt to do a portrait from photographs of somebody I didn't know...

I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Painting is the pattern of one's own nervous system being projected on canvas.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

We only have our nervous system to paint.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

Great art is deeply ordered. E...

Great art is deeply ordered. Even if within the order there may be enormously instinctive and accidental things, nevertheless they come out of a desire for ordering and for returning fact onto the nervous system in a more violent way.

Francis Bacon 1062 quotes

The mystery lies in the irrationality by which you make appearance - if it is not irrational, you make illustration.
