Free Vintage Clipart for Collage, Scrapbooking or Papercrafts: Saying Good-bye, 1881

It's important in life to conclude things properly. Only then can you let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse. That bungled goodbye hurts me to this day.
― Yann Martel, Life of Pi

They couldn't tell when one of them left if they would be gone for an hour, a hundred years, or forever. It made every parting somber, but they became honest for it. They meant every goodbye in a way they couldn't in life.
― Thomm Quackenbush, The Lifecycle of Suns

Free Vintage Clipart for Collage, Scrapbooking or Papercrafts: Gone Fishing, 1893

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.
― John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
Four be the things I'd been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

When you're feeling down, always remember,

There will be sunshine after the rain,
There will be pleasure after the pain.

the ocean
