Give me a museum and I'll fill it.

Pablo Picasso
About This Quote

When people are asked to fill up a museum, they do so for their own personal enrichment. If you were to ask the same people to fill up a museum with all the items that they have collected, there is no way that they could finish. The same applies to people who are asked to fill up their lives with memories. The problem comes when they try to fill up their life with only the good things which make them happy. They forget about the bad things which made them unhappy and filled their lives with things that they should have simply tossed away, especially if it makes them feel bad about themselves.
