Imperfection Quotes (page 7)

Let us concentrate all our efforts on achieving perfection through the imperfect gestures of everyday life. True wisdom means respecting the simple things we do, for they can take us where we need to go. Paulo Coelho
Once in an age God sends to some of us a friend who loves in us, not a false-imagining, an unreal character, but looking through the rubbish of our imperfections, loves in us the divine ideal of our nature,--loves, not the man that we are, but the angel that we may be. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Charles Spurgeon quote: "The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the..."
The day we find the perfect church, it becomes imperfect the moment we join it. Charles Spurgeon
Emilio Estevez quote: "We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects..."
We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us--that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect. Emilio Estevez
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate..."
Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly. Elizabeth Gilbert
But I had this idea also that you don't take so wide a stance that it makes a human llife impossible, nor try to bring together irreconcilables that destroy you, but try out what of human you can live with first. And if the highest should come in that empty overheated tavern with its flies and the hot radio buzzing between the plays and plugged beer from Sox Park, what are you supposed to do but take the mixture and say imperfection is always the condidtion as found; all great beauty too, my... Saul Bellow
In the ultimate sense, the world itself is pregnant with failure, is the perfect manifestation of imperfection, of the consciousness of failure. In the realization of this, failure is itself eliminated. Henry Miller
The line of gray along the horizon is brighter now, and with the coming light I feel a certainty: that there is, despite our wild imaginings, only one life. The ghostly others, no matter how real they seem, no matter how badly we need them, are phantoms. The one life we're left with is sufficient to fill and refill our imperfect hearts with joy, and then to shatter them. And it never, ever lets up. Richard Russo
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew. Saint Francis de Sales
Charles Bukowski quote: "Dismiss perfection as an ache of the greedy, but do not give..."
Dismiss perfection as an ache of the greedy, but do not give in to the mass modesty of easy imperfection. Charles Bukowski
Gerard Way quote: "Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means..."
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Gerard Way
It was the touch of the imperfect upon the would-be perfect that gave the sweetness, because it was that which gave the humanity Thomas Hardy
How much misery…how much needless despair has been caused by a series of biological mismatches, a misalignment of the hormones and pheromones? Resulting in the fact that the one you love so passionately won’t or can’t love you. As a species we’re pathetic in that way: imperfectly monogamous. If only we could pair-bond for life, like gibbons, or else opt for total-guilt free promiscuity, there’d be no more sexual torment. You’d never want someone you couldn’t have’ ‘…But think what we’d be... Margaret Atwood
Everything, including your set of hand-blown green glass dishes with the tiny bubbles and imperfections, little bits of sand, proof they were crafted by the honest, simple, hard-working indigenous aboriginal people of wherever, well, these dishes all get blown out by the blast. Picture floor-to-ceiling drapes blown out and flaming to shreds in the hot wind. Chuck Palahniuk
I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. It's in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for. That for me, is glamor. Isabella Rossellini
