I appreciate this quote from "About the Muwen Tang Collection Series"

Today, as the world heads towards ‘globalization’, an understanding of and respect for others’ values and cultures will be of utmost importance for the people of all societies and races to live in peace and harmony. Art and antique collecting and exchange could play a major role in achieving this goal.

Life is transient; collecting is no more than a temporary custody of objects by an individual. Works of art change hands over time. The Muwen Tang is dedicated to promoting an understanding and appreciation of Chinese art through the sharing of knowledge. It is our belief that human heritage is common property that should be enjoyed by people of all nations.

Bill.

It is amazing and astounding you picked up on this also.  I intended to highlight it when I posted the link, but got distracted by a work phone call.  This is indeed 'a family' of sorts, in more ways than one.   Happy be be here and to know you as the online 'IPB sharer' and 'IPB profiler' pioneer and go-to-web and invididual source in this IPB hobby!  You are the most well-rounded IPB collector I know of and you are my inspiration...truly...

Respectfully

PS. To be correct and give credit where it is due, the 'deep' quote Bill and I are referring to is from Simon Kwan, 28th June, 2004, in 'About the Muwen Tang Collection Series' on the website link I provided.
