adapted excerpt from The Tyranny of Things
by Elisabeth Woodbridge Morris

But to some of us a day comes when we begin to grow weary of things. We realize that we do not possess them; they possess us. Our books are a burden to us, our pictures have destroyed every restful wall space, our china is a care, our photographs drive us mad, our programs and alpenstocks fill us with loathing. We feel stifled with the sense of things, and our problem becomes, not how much we can accumulate, but how much we can do without. We send our books to the village library, and our pictures to the college settlement. Such things as we cannot give away, and have not the courage to destroy, we stack in the attic, where they lie huddled in dim and dusty heaps, removed from our sight, to be sure, yet still faintly importunate.
