In the universe there are only a few absolutes of value; something is valuable because it can be eaten for nourishment or used as a weapon or made into clothes or it is vaulable if you want it and you believe it will make you happy. Then it is worth anything as well as nothing, worth as much as you will give to have something you think you want. ... looking for something you want is a comfort in the clutter of the universe, but knowing you don't have to look means you can't be disappointed.
-Susan Orlean, from The Orchid Thief
