“Memory is your museum, your cabinet of curiosities, your 'Wunderkammer.' It will never be full; there is always room for something new and strange and marvelous. It will never need dusting. It will last as long as you do. You can't let the public in to walk around it, but you can take out the exhibits and share them, share what you know. You will never be able to stop collecting.”
― Jan Mark, The Museum Book: A Guide to Strange and Wonderful Collections

“But there is also a youth that returns as one grows older. After you’ve lived long enough in this broken-down old world, and seen the vanity of striving after the wind and felt the sting of the thorn and the thistle, you learn that, as the Preacher says, “There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour.”
― Eric Schumacher, My Last Name
