Nerdy, Nice & Nasty

“See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.”

“You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.”

“Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.”

“Forget what you were, and look forward to what you could be.”

“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.”

“By living deeply in the present moment we can understand the past better and we can prepare for a better future.”

“Note to self: You’ve gotta do this for you. This is for you. This isn’t about anybody. Live for you. Honour you. Never lose sight of that.”

“That amazing moment when you hear a song you haven’t heard in years and you still know every word.”

“He held me when my insecurities were as sharp as a knife and at every moment they got sharper, he held me even tighter.”

i love George Pemba's painting style. his painting style references impressionism and expressionism. i like the subject matter on his paintings (the portrayal of people and their lives). his paintings are not simply documentations of people and surroundings but consist of the uncertainties and contradictions that were part of life in South Africa at that time.
