Morality to wield, or just to own?
Howard: I mean, morality for Eddie is like — what? — like — what? you know — it’s like some terribly worthy old urn, some terribly worthy old urn that’s wrapped up in some towels in his back closet. Well, it’s got a few chips in it, one has to admit, and it is rather ugly, really, if you bother to look at it, and it’s too heavy to lift, and in its style of course it’s totally out of keeping with everything else in the house, so, well, you know, it can’t be used — but ten times a day he has to exclaim, ‘Oh yes, that urn, it’s my great possession, my greatest treasure.’ I mean, it has no function in his own life — none at all — but he loves to have the feeling, ‘Oh yes, this is mine. I’m the sort of person who would own such a thing.’
