  • Perfection Quote #1

    And I find perfect beauty excessively boring, don't you?

    Gail Carriger

  • Perfection Quote #2

    And I wasn’t playing a role – I was trying to be myself.
    But the harder I was striving, the more I was realizing that I had probably lost that ‘myself’ somewhere between two perfectly performed roles...

    Simona Panova

  • Perfection Quote #3

    And observe, you are put to stern choice in this matter. You must either make a tool of the creature, or a man of him. You cannot make both. Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions. If you will have that precision out of them, and make their fingers measure degrees like cogwheels, and their arms strike curves like compasses, you must unhumanize them. All the energy of their spirits must be given to make cogs and compasses of themselves....On the other hand, if you will make a man of the working creature, you cannot make a tool. Let him but begin to imagine, to think, to try to do anything worth doing; and the engine-turned precision is lost at once. Out come all his roughness; all his dullness, all his incapability; shame upon shame, failure upon failure, pause after pause: but out comes the whole majesty of him also, and we know the height of it only, when we see the clouds settling upon him.

    John Ruskin

  • Perfection Quote #4

    And so you prefer her faults to other people’s perfections?

    Anne Brontë

  • Perfection Quote #5

    Any work is always improvable, you cannot really finish the work, you can only abandon it out of tiredness or incompetence.

    Amit Kalantri

  • Perfection Quote #6

    Art is a journey of excellence not a goal of perfection.

    Jacqueline Patricks

  • Perfection Quote #7

    As in diamonds so in batting, perfection requires flawlessness and nowhere is a batting imperfection more quickly recognised than in the dropped catch. For this reason any innings worthy of consideration deserves to have all its flaws studied to establish whether or not it is the genuine gem or just masquerading as one under the glitter of big hitting or weight of runs.

    Patrick Ferriday

  • Perfection Quote #8

    As long as you hold onto wanting something from the outside, you will be dissatisfied because there is a part of you that you are till not totally owning...How can you be a complete and fulfilled if you believe that you cannot own this part [of yourself] until somebody else does something?...If it is conditional, it is not totally yours.

    A.H. Almaas

  • Perfection Quote #9

    As the High Priestess looked down upon the child, she was struck by her holy perfection. She was a tiny person in miniature, and her beautiful eyes, little hands, and long eyelashes were sublime.

    Alan Kinross

  • Perfection Quote #10

    AS WE LAY THERE WE FELT LIKE WE WERE EXTENSTIONS OF EACH OTHER, LIKE OUR BODIES AND OUR HEARTS HAD TO BE TOGETHER TO MAKE ONE WHOLE PERFECT PERSON.

    James Patterson

  • Perfection Quote #11

    As we try to achieve perfection, society changes and we just become more imperfect

    Joao Matod

  • Perfection Quote #12

    At cocktail parties, I played the part of a successful businessman's wife to perfection. I smiled, I made polite chit-chat, and I dressed the part. Denial and rationalization were two of my most effective tools in working my way through our social obligations. I believed that playing the roles of wife and mother were the least I could do to help support Tom's career.
    During the day, I was a puzzle with innumerable pieces. One piece made my family a nourishing breakfast. Another piece ferried the kids to school and to soccer practice. A third piece managed to trip to the grocery store. There was also a piece that wanted to sleep for eighteen hours a day and the piece that woke up shaking from yet another nightmare. And there was the piece that attended business functions and actually fooled people into thinking I might have something constructive to offer.
    I was a circus performer traversing the tightwire, and I could fall off into a vortex devoid of reality at any moment. There was, and had been for a very long time, an intense sense of despair. A self-deprecating voice inside told me I had no chance of getting better. I lived in an emotional black hole.
    p20-21, talking about dissociative identity disorder (formerly multiple personality disorder).

    Suzie Burke

  • Perfection Quote #13

    At that moment the universe appeared to me a vast machine constructed only to produce evil. I almost doubted the goodness of God, in not annihilating man on the day he first sinned. The world should have been destroyed, I said, crushed as I crush this reptile which has done nothing in its life but render all that it touches as disgusting as itself. I had scarcely removed my foot from the poor insect when, like a censoring angel sent from heaven, there came fluttering through the trees a butterfly with large wings of lustrous gold and purple. It shone but a moment before my eyes; then, rising among the leaves, it vanished into the height of the azure vault. I was mute, but an inner voice said to me, Let not the creature judge his Creator; here is a symbol of the world to come. As the ugly caterpillar is the origin of the splendid butterfly, so this globe is the embryo of a new heaven and a new earth whose poorest beauty will infinitely exceed your mortal imagination. And when you see the magnificent result of that which seems so base to you now, how you will scorn your blind presumption, in accusing Omniscience for not having made nature perish in her infancy.

    God is the god of justice and mercy; then surely, every grief that he inflicts on his creatures, be they human or animal, rational or irrational, every suffering of our unhappy nature is only a seed of that divine harvest which will be gathered when, Sin having spent its last drop of venom, Death having launched its final shaft, both will perish on the pyre of a universe in flames and leave their ancient victims to an eternal empire of happiness and glory.

    Emily Brontë

  • Perfection Quote #14

    Be real. Embrace that you have weakness. Because everyone does. Embrace that your body is not perfect. Because nobody’s is. Embrace that you have things you can’t control. We all have a list of them.

    Dan Pearce

  • Perfection Quote #15

    Beauty of office, is profession in place

    Hicham Zinalabdin

  • Perfection Quote #16

    Because there is a word for perfection, people will always imagine that they know it.

    Idries Shah

  • Perfection Quote #17

    Because we are always growing, life compounds and magnifies what is already in us. If you are miserable you grow in misery and if you are joyful you grow in joy. This makes self-love is the perfect soil from which to grow love.

    Bryant McGill

  • Perfection Quote #18

    Before we aspire after theoretical perfection in the amelioration of our political state, it is necessary that we possess those advantages which we have been cheated of, and which the experience of modern times has proved that nations even under the present conditions are susceptible.

    Percy Bysshe Shelley

  • Perfection Quote #19

    Beyond all judgments of good and bad ...is perfection - Vivian Amis

    Vivian Amis

  • Perfection Quote #20

    Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.

    Dave Eggers

  • Perfection Quote #21

    But I can't force everything into the arrangement I'd like. I can't use denial to make everything simple.

    Jael McHenry

  • Perfection Quote #22

    But in reality, with Mr. Ellison there is an essence of probity about him; unlike Dorian Grey, him and his hidden portrait are both wonderful. When he speaks there is a certain intonation he gets that reveals so much about him, that you can't help but to feel rapt, and so few get to hear his unspoken thought because they are fixated on the bling and the big show.

    Avra Amar Filion

  • Perfection Quote #23

    But in the machine of today we forget that motors are whirring: the motor, finally, has come to fulfill its function, which is to whirr as a heart beats - and we give no thought to the beating of our heart. Thus, precisely because it is perfect the machine dissembles its own existence instead of forcing itself upon our notice.

    Antoine de SaintExupéry

  • Perfection Quote #24

    But living creatures are idiosyncratic. They are created in such a way that they can actualize only what their microscopic minds wish for. The concept of limitless is bound heavily by the minor actualization of what perfection is

    Lionel Suggs

  • Perfection Quote #25

    But one day you're going to wake up to the smell of a friend making burnt toast and warm coffee, and you're going to smile with relief knowing you made it. Knowing somebody found ways to love you.

    Vanessa Hogg

  • Perfection Quote #26

    Cathy, don't look so defeated. She was only trying to put us down
    again.
    Maybe nothing did work out right for her, but that doesn't mean we are
    doomed. Let's go forth tomorrow with no great expectations of finding
    perfection. Then, expecting only a small share of happiness, we won't
    be disappointed.

    V.C. Andrews

  • Perfection Quote #27

    Cathy, don't look so defeated. She was only trying to put us down
    again.
    Maybe nothing did work out right for her, but that doesn't mean we are
    doomed. Let's go forth tomorrow with no great expectations of finding
    perfection. Then, expecting only a small share of happiness, we won't
    be disappointed.
    If a little hill of happiness would satisfy Chris, good for him. But
    after all these years of striving, hoping, dreaming, longing-I wanted a
    mountain high! A hill wasn't enough. From this day forward, I vowed
    to myself, I was in control of my life. Not fate, not
    God, not even Chris was ever again going to tell me what to do, or
    dominate me in any way. From this day forward, I was my own person, to
    take what I would, when I would, and I would answer only to myself. I'd
    been kept prisoner, held captive by greed. I'd been betrayed,
    deceived, tied to, used, poisoned ... but all that was over now.

    V.C. Andrews

  • Perfection Quote #28

    Certainly it's a rare glimpse into the lives of the Secular Ancients. They don't seem as bad as the Dominion histories make them out to be. Though clearly they were imperfect.

    I don't deny that they were imperfect, Julian said in a distant voice. I'm not uncritical of the Secular Ancients, Adam. They had all sorts of vices, and they committed one sin for which I can never bring myself to entirely forgive them.

    What sin is that?

    They evolved into us, he said.

    Robert Charles Wilson

  • Perfection Quote #29

    Confidence comes from relentless pursuit of perfection.

    Debasish Mridha

  • Perfection Quote #30

    Constrained optimization is the art of compromise between conflicting objectives. This is what design is all about. To find fault with biological design - as Stephen Jay Gould regularly does - because it misses some idealized optimum is therefore gratuitous. Not knowing the objectives of the designer, Gould is in no position to say whether the designer has proposed a faulty compromise among those objectives.

    William A. Dembski
