A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis BaconMy painting is not violent, it's life that is violent. Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves, the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
Francis BaconThe nature of things betrays itself more readily under the vexations of art than in its natural freedom.
Francis BaconSuch philosophy as shall not vanish in the fume of subtile, sublime, or delectable speculation but shall be operative to the endowment and betterment of man's life.
Francis Bacon
