An idea to agree or disagree with re: value, cost, etc

"The value of a thing lies not in what one attains with
 it, but what in what one pays for it - what it costs us."
-Neitzche, Twilight of the Idols, 1889

I'm finding more and more that meaning comes precisely from limitation. The reason Significant Objects works is because mundane objects can mean anything; only when their meaning is limited are the objects valuable.
