#perfection

"[F]or just one second, look at your life and see how perfect it is. Stop looking for the next secret door that is going to lead you to your real life. Stop waiting. This is it: there's nothing else. It's here, and you'd better decide to enjoy it or you're going to be miserable wherever you go, for the rest of your life, forever."

"Perfection' is man's ultimate illusion. It simply doesn't exist in the universe.... If you are a perfectionist, you are guaranteed to be a loser in whatever you do."

"It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection."

"Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle."

"... one flaw throws the loveliness of [everything else] into focus. I remember reading that Shakers deliberately introduced a mistake into the things they made, to show that man shouldn't aspire to the perfection of God. Flawed can be more perfect than perfection."

"The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing."

"Let people be the pursuits of happiness, you be the pursuit of perfection."

"The woman is the most perfect doll that i have dressed with delight and admiration."

"I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago."

"Share your weaknesses. Share your hard moments. Share your real side. It'll either scare away every fake person in your life or it will inspire them to finally let go of that mirage called "perfection,"which will open the doors to the most important relationships you'll ever be a part of."

"I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from."

"An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's."

"Stop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect moment... Take THIS day, THIS moment and lead it to perfection."

"If you look for perfection, you'll never be content."

"When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection."

"You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here."

"Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it."

"Perfection is not a destination; it's a never-ending process...Enjoy!"

"Persistence. Perfection. Patience. Power. Prioritize your passion. It keeps you sane."

"We're all fools,"said Clemens, "all the time. It's just we're a different kind each day. We think, I'm not a fool today. I've learned my lesson. I was a fool yesterday but not this morning. Then tomorrow we find out that, yes, we were a fool today too. I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly."
