In “Lifelines,” a Collection of Quotations and Proverbs by Walter Newport, the Author Challenges Readers to Reflect and Find Inspiration
Sacramento, California – WEBWIRE – Thursday, October 20, 2022
A collection of succinct inspirational essays called Lifelines was written with the intention of assisting readers in recognizing truths they can immediately apply to their lives, whether to deal with crises in their families or at work or to inspire them to be more compassionate Christians toward everyone they encounter. These phrases are the result of a lifetime spent collecting uplifting and motivational quotes and sayings from many sources. So many quotation books include passages just because they cleverly spin a phrase.
The anthologys goal is to employ the teachings of illustrious historical thinkers, philosophers, and proverbs to improve our broken society. This inspirational collection of sayings and affirmations is dedicated to those who are determined to make the most of their time on earth by staying true to themselves, being kind with their talents and gifts, and being receptive to the idea of consistently giving yourself in love. Walter wishes to offer a space where all readers can develop into active thinkers in search of brilliant ideas.
Every proverb and statement in this collection challenges the mind and heart to think creatively. People are engaged, provoked, inspired, and motivated by it. Walter gathered quotes from notable figures from many eras, ethnic groups, classic works, the Bible, and individuals from all walks of life.

Lazy Incorporated Categories Paris – WEBWIRE – Friday, April 8, 2022 On Thursday 19 May, Bonhams is hosting a sale of Modern and Contemporary African Art featuring around fifty paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures from French and international private collections as well as a selection of 23 works from the Gervanne and Matthias Leridon Collection, including works by Aboudia, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Godfried Donkor, Barthélémy Toguo and Brett Murray.
Bonhams Modern & Contemporary African Art specialist in Paris, Julie Mathon commented: For our second sale in Paris we are thrilled to be offering works from the outstanding Gervanne & Matthias Leridon collection. Gervanne and Matthiass great passion for Africa shines through the pieces in the sale which reflect not only the fantastic quality and diversity of contemporary African Art but also the boundless energy and restless curiosity which underpins their collection.
The strength of the Gervanne and Matthias Leridon collection lies in the couples strong commitment to artists who think about the world, who enlighten it and question it.
Passionate about Africa and its place in the world, Gervanne and Matthais constantly travel the continent to unearth new talent, taking no account of the age, nationality or fame of the artists, or even the mediums they use. Above all, they seek to forge a unique relationship with each of the artists and with their works.
Highlights of the Gervanne and Matthias Leridon collection in the sale include:
Chalks and pins U by Pascale Marthine Tayou. Created in 2012, the work illustrates the artists constant desire to use unconventional materials. Dusted with glitter, brightly coloured chalk sticks are arranged in rows, interspersed with pinned plastic straws, to form intricate patterns that evoke the decorative patterns of traditional tapestries in Cameroon, the artists native country. Tayous use of chalk, both as a medium and as a raw material, alludes directly to the very process of artistic creation. The pigment is not applied to the paper or canvas; it remains intact, assuming its original cylindrical shape structuring the rhythmic pattern of the whole design. Estimate: 60,000-90,000.
Untitled by Aboudia. Now working between his native Abidjan and Brooklyn, New York, Aboudia acknowledges the lasting influence of the visual imagery he encountered growing up in Abidjan. I want life to be beautiful, so I treat sadness with happiness… as he once said. Estimate: 70,000-100,000.
Misty Morning by Nigerian painter Abiodun Olaku. This mysterious painting is estimated at 8,000 – 12,000.
The sale includes artists from 13 countries representing the diversity of African creation: Bertina Lopes, Malick Sidibé, Ernesto Shikani, Gérard Sekoto, the young Ethiopian painter Getahun Assefa and the Nigerian artist Godwin Oluwole Omofemi with an untitled oil on canvas estimated 30,000 50,000.
Chéri Samba, whose works are already in the collections of institutions such as the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, is represented here with a 1999 work entitled Lhomme qui mange de la peinture. Born in Bas-Congo, Chéri Samba showed early talent as a draftsman and caricaturist. At sixteen, Samba left school and went to Kinshasa where he quickly found a job at the Mbuta-Masunda studio of sign painters. It was at the end of the 80s, as his success grew, that Chéri Samba adopted acrylic paint and added glitter to his works. Estimate: 20,000-30,000.
