Once the collector has grasped that ''completeness''
is an illusion, that bibliomania is neither rational nor purposeful,
and that your gentle hobby is a ruthless life's quest, you may
even be ready for a further timid step on the path to enlightenment.
This consists of admitting that the volumes you have diligently
acquired over decades do not logically, necessarily, morally
or any other way have to stay acquired. This will seem pitifully
obvious to outsiders, but not to many book-collectors.
-- "Cool, Calm and Collecting."
The Sunday Times (London) (23 June 1996): 6-7.
