“In my case all painting… is an accident. I foresee it and yet I hardly
ever carry it out as I foresee it. It transforms itself by the actual
paint. I don’t in fact know very often what the paint will do, and it
does many things which are very much better than I could make it do.”

Study after Velázquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X, 1953, by Francis Bacon

If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

— Ernest Hemingway/ A Farewell to Arms

— Mozi, Mozi (5th century BC) Ch 20
