Perfection Quotes
|
James Luther Adams:Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart, for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.
Max Beerbohm:Nothing is complete and thus nothing is exempt from criticism.
Tom Robbins:Only mediocrity can be trusted to be always at its best.
The bottom line is that (a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and (c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love.
