"I suppose collecting is a vice - it's certainly a disease. But the important thing is that at the end of the day you're just a custodian. You can't take them with you, so you're preserving things for people to enjoy in years to come." (Neil Corner 1985)
"Collecting may be a vice - if not a disease. The most important thing, however, is that the collector ultimately sees himself as the guardian of his things, in the knowledge that I can't take them with me, I can only preserve them for generations to come." (Neil Corner 1985)
