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 Art: A Montmartre by Paul Gavarni

A Montmartre, 1843
- Ce qui est pointu, c'est St-Eustache.
- Oui, où qu'est l'échoppe de mon honorée mère.
- A présent, suis le bout de mon doigt...à droite de l'affaire carrée,
qui est notre église...
- contre une fumée...vois-tu ce balcon qui reluit?...
- c'est ton salon...
by Paul Gavarni (1804–1866)

by Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840)

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.
― Albert Einstein

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
― Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
