Vintage Photo for Collage, Graphic Design, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Christmas Angel

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
the Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

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

Printable Vintage Art: Suspense by Charles Burton Barber

Suspense, 1894
by Charles Burton Barber (1845–1894)

Life is like a novel. It's filled with suspense.
You have no idea what is going to happen until you turn the page.
― Sidney Sheldon

The moment seemed endless, but it was probably only half that.
― Steve Toltz, A Fraction of the Whole
