“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

Pluto

Doing a book about Pluto for North Atlantic Books. It's extraordinary, what I've read so far.

We were all asked to fill out a questionnaire about what we'd like and expect to see on Pluto. It was fascinating how one's mind swayed from one's inner emotional responses to outer speculations on the planet itself.
