“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Konditorei

I've taken to finishing this book in the Austrian pastry shop here. There's a very good atmosphere and it beats Peets, somehow. Nice Klimt and Schiele on the walls. A revolving display of astonishing cakes. I work best in a state of mild distraction.
