Even if you have $20,000 to by an item at an antiques store, you still try to get a good price. ~Ursula Andress, actress

Nobody can give you advice after you’ve been collecting for a while. If you don’t enjoy making your own decisions, you’re never going to be much of a collector anyway. ~ Charles Saatchi, art critic and collector

Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star.
