To collect is to rescue things, valuable things, from oblivion, or simply from the ignoble destiny of being in someone else’s collection rather than one’s own.

“...The cat and the two dogs are some of the most recent additions to my collection. I noticed them at an auction in Genova and bought them immediately, because I’d never seen anything similar before. The technique is complex, yes, but what actually won my heart was their humor: the cat, with the fishbone in its stomach, and the dogs, with their outstretched, pointed ears, are really funny.”
— Pierre Rosenberg, collector
