Francis Bacon's Opinions

God

Does life have a meaning?

Mostly Disagree

I think in a very positive way. ... I think that man now realises that he is an accident, that he is a completely futile being, that he has to play out the game without reason. ...man can only attempt to make something very, very positive by trying to beguile himself for a time by the way he behaves, by prolonging possibly his life by buying a kind of immortality through the doctors.
