"Dia mencintai harta benda, bukan massa dari mereka, tetapi beberapa pilih yang dia tidak berpisah dengan. Mereka memberi seorang pria harga diri. Bukan kesombongan tetapi kualitas, dan cinta yang menghargai kualitas. Harta mengingatkannya bahwa dia ada, dan membuatnya menikmati keberadaannya. Sesederhana itu. Dan bukankah itu bernilai sesuatu? Dia ada."

--- Patricia Highsmith

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Possessions reminded him that he existed, and made him enjoy his existence. It was as simple as that. And wasn' t that worth something? He existed.
