is always more than is necessary. It is a material concentrate that continually stimulates, that overexcites because it is already too much. The collector's need is precisely for excess, for surfeit, for profusion. It's too much and it's just enough for the collector.

A great private collection is a material concentrate that continually stimulates, that overexcites. Not only because it can always be added to, but because it is already too much.

Susan Sontag, The Volcano Lover: A Romance
