Here are two things that have made my week feel.... Victorian:

1.) Quote from Anna Karenina (which I've never read before... the brand new Penguin Classic translation is awesome!  A friend and I are resurrecting the Pizza Hut book club "Book it" from when we were kids.  We're reading a book together and then going to PH to eat!  Although, I don't think they'll give us a personal pan pizza for free...  - I'll put this quote within it's paragraph at the bottom of this post): 

"All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade." 

2.) A photo I just took for a Pride and Prejudice poster I'm making for Reduxion Theatre Company in Oklahoma: 

I hope someday I can be in a period piece movie.  Check out those sweet side burns. 

AK: "You're a very wholesome man.  That is your virtue and your defect.  You have a wholesome character, and you want all of life to be made of up wholesome phenomena, but that doesn't happen.  So you despise the activity of public service because you want things always to correspond to their aim, and that doesn't happen.  You also want the activity of the individual man always to have an aim, that love and family life always be one.  And that doesn't happen.  All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life are made up of light and shade." - p. 42
