QotD: Modern Vienna

Filed under: Europe, History, Quotations — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 01:00

There are four ages of modern Vienna. Before the First World War, it was cultured and rich; from 1918 until the Anschluss with Nazi Germany, it was cultured and poor; from 1938 to the end of the Allied occupation, it was just poor; and from 1955 to the present, it has just been rich.
