Printable Fashion History Illustration: Victorian Lady in Belle Époque Promenade Dress, 1893

Belief in yourself is more important than
endless worries of what others think of you.
Value yourself and others will value you.
Validation is best that comes from within.
― Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Dreams in a Time of War

To be around someone whose self-confidence is more
than what our first glance led us to expect is seductive.
― Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

...and the evening was so beautiful,
that it made a pain in my heart,

and I thought that if I could have a wish,
it would be that nothing would ever change,
and we would stay that way forever.
