Vintage Clipart for Collage, Graphic Design or Scrapbooking: Reverie (1 & 2)

Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way
like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking.
External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream.
Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
― Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers

She was always daydreaming. She never wanted to live in the real world;
she always seemed to be separated from other children her age.
They couldn’t understand her or her imagination.
She was always thinking outside of the box, breaking rules,
and only following what her heart told her was right.
― Shannon A. Thompson, November Snow
