I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange.
― Wallace Stevens, The Collected Poems

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage, Graphic Design or Scrapbooking: Three Veiled Ladies, 1875

Quiet people always know more than they seem. Although very normal,
their inner world is by default fronted mysterious and therefore assumed weird.
Never underestimate the social awareness and sense of reality in a quiet person;
they are some of the most observant, absorbent persons of all.
― Criss Jami, Healology

Like the moon shining bright
Up high with all its grace,
I can only show you at night
And hide half of my face.
― Ana Claudia Antunes, Pierrot & Columbine

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage Art, Junk Journal, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Costume Party, 1870s

Lila had discovered that the hardest part of her charade
was pretending that everything was old hat when it was all so new,
being forced to feign the kind of nonchalance
that only comes from a lifetime of knowing and taking for granted.
Lila was a quick study, and she knew how to keep up a front;
but behind the mask of disinterest, she took in everything.
She was a sponge, soaking up the words and customs,
training herself to see something once and be able to pretend
she’d seen it a dozen—a hundred—times before.
― V.E. Schwab, A Gathering of Shadows

Two ladies and a girl at a costume party, 1870s

or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck.
This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood -
finding a piece of yourself separate and apart
that all the same you could not live without.

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage Art, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Twin Brides on the Terrace, 1892

After all, what is happiness? Love, they tell me.
But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness.
On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield;
it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time
if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
― Paulo Coelho, The Witch of Portobello
