On Owning, by Truman Capote

"I don't want to own anything until I know I've found the place where me and things belong together.  I'm not quite sure where that is just yet.  But I know what it's like.... It's like Tiffany's.... Not that I give a hoot about jewelry.  Diamonds, yes.  But it's tacky to wear diamonds before you're forty..."
~Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's, 1958, spoken by the character Holly Golightly
