"I learned that the impulse to collect is connected to the impulse to
create," he observed. "It seems more like preservation, which isn't
really creation, but in giving order to what you've saved, in making

creative aspect. I hadn't before seen it as something directly
connected to the art-making impulse. I'd thought of collecting as a
pastime, but in writing the book I developed a more creative view of
it."
