Collectors and Collecting
June 24, 2010 - June 24, 2012Collecting is not a taste of what is good or beautiful, but for what is rare and unique, for what one has and what others lack. It is not an attachment for that which is perfect, but for that which is sought after and in fashion. It is not an amusement, but a passion often so violent that it is no less potent than love or ambition, except for the smallness of its object. It is not a passion that one has generally for rare things of value, but only for a certain thing that is rare, and at the same time, in vogue.
--- Jean de la Bruyère, 1688
