As Peppiatt, the editor of this volume, tells us in his illuminating Introduction, the two would regularly embark on night-time \"odysseys around London and Paris\", \"ordering extravagant vintages, raising toasts to all and sundry, talking and laughing immoderately.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrancis Bacon's conversation was witty, provocative, and profound. In this volume, his long-time friend, curator, chronicler, and biographer has gathered Bacon's most memorable aphorisms, evoking both the force of the artist's personality and the range of his interests. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese sayings, assembled for the first time in \u003ci\u003eOnly Too Much Is Enough\u003c\/i\u003e, form a brilliant accompaniment to Bacon's works, conveying not only a sceptical and sometimes disquieting outlook on human relationships, but also keen insights into his creative process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Peppiatt left London in 1966 for a job as arts editor at\u003ci\u003e Réalités\u003c\/i\u003e then \u003ci\u003eLe Monde\u003c\/i\u003e in Paris, where he lived at the heart of the art and literary world for the following thirty years.
