Quotes by J.B. Jackson (?)

“We admire and try to collect things not so much for their beauty or value as for their association with a phase of our past; and that is understandable, every generation has done the same. But with us the association seems to be not with our politically historical past, but with a kind of private vernacular past—what we cherish are mementos of a bygone daily existence without a definite date.”
― J.B. Jackson, The Necessity for Ruins and Other Topics
