Free Printable Vintage Illustration for Mixed-Media Collage, Journaling, Papercrafts or Wall Art: Before Bed, 1893

I think insomnia is a sign that a person is interesting.
― Avery Sawyer, Notes to Self

Moments before sleep are when she feels most alive,
leaping across fragments of the day, bringing each moment into the bed with her
like a child with schoolbooks and pencils.
The day seems to have no order until these times,
which are like a ledger for her, her body full of stories and situations.
― Michael Ondaatje, The English Patient

Fill your life with women that empower you,
that help you believe in your magic
and aid them to believe in their own exceptional power

Women that believe in each other can survive anything.
Women who believe in each other create armies that will win kingdoms and wars.

He knew he would always remember her,
standing there with that expectant, forward-looking smile,

Printable Fashion History Illustration: Beach Party, 1893

I thought of you and how you love this beauty,
And walking up the long beach all alone
I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder
As you and I once heard their monotone.

Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me
The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --
We two will pass through death and ages lengthen
Before you hear that sound again with me.
― Sarah Teasdale
