Printable Vintage Art: Girls in a Landscape by Winslow Homer

Girls in a Landscape, 1873
by Winslow Homer (1836–1910)

TI think if I've learned anything about friendship, it's to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don't walk away, don't be distracted, don't be too busy or tired, don't take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.
Jon Katz

Words are easy, like the wind; faithful friends are hard to find.
William Shakespeare, The Passionate Pilgrim

Printable Vintage Art: Girl Reading Under an Oak Tree by Winslow Homer

Girl Reading Under an Oak Tree, 1879
by Winslow Homer (1836–1910)

To the loner, loneliness is a treasure that cannot be traded, even for the nicest of companies.
Michael Bassey Johnson

I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.
