Quotes by Francis Bacon (?)

“Existence is in a way so banal, you may as well try and make a kind of grandeur of it”
― Francis Bacon

“My 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 Bacon
