Perfect Quotes (page 47)

She knocked a third time, three regular strokes, gentle, but perfectly distinct, and with meaning in them; for, modulate it with what cautious art we will, the hand cannot help playing some tune of what we feel , upon the senseless wood. Nathaniel Hawthorne
This is tantamount to saying, "My hand is weak. I cannot draw a straight line,—that is, a line which will be the shortest line between two given points,—and so, in order to make it more easy for myself, I, intending to draw a straight, will choose for my model a crooked line." The weaker my hand, the greater the need that my model should be perfect. Leo Tolstoy
You have no ambition, I well know. Your wishes are all moderate.''As moderate as those of the rest of the world, I believe. I wish as well as every body else to be perfectly happy, but like every body else it must be in my own way. Greatness will not make me so. Jane Austen
She had nothing to wish otherwise, but that the days did not pass so swiftly. It was a delightful visit;—perfect, in being much too short. Jane Austen
Orson Scott Card quote: "I looked for perfection, and I found something better."
I looked for perfection, and I found something better. Orson Scott Card
Karl Kraus quote: "To be perfect, one lacks only a defect."
To be perfect, one lacks only a defect. Karl Kraus
For a moment everything was clear, and when that happens, you see that the world is barley there at all. Don’t we all secretly know this? It’s a perfectly balanced mechanism of shouts and echoes, pretending to be wheels and cogs. A dream clock chiming beneath a mystery-glass we call life. Behind it? Below it and around it? Chaos, storms. Men with hammers, men with knives, men with guns. Women who twist what they cannot dominate, and belittle what they cannot understand. A universe of horror... Stephen King
Henry Miller quote: "If you were married to a dipsomaniac, would you pretend that..."
If you were married to a dipsomaniac, would you pretend that the mania for alcohol was perfectly harmless? Henry Miller
Cease to be a disobedient child in the school of experience, and begin to learn, with humility and patience, the lessons that are set for your ultimate perfection. James Allen
Sometimes you read a passage by a great writer, and you know what he says and how he says it will always be, for you, the only possible way it could be. Less often a painter will describe an event in a way that fits into your interpretation of that event so perfectly that it becomes the event itself. Vincent Price
Bela Lugosi quote: "I will perfect my own race of people; a race of atomic..."
I will perfect my own race of people; a race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world! Bela Lugosi
Arundhati Roy quote: "He folded his fear into a perfect rose. He held it out in the..."
He folded his fear into a perfect rose. He held it out in the palm of his hand. She took it from him and put it in her hair. Arundhati Roy
I hog the covers, and my second toe is longer than my big one. My hair has its own zip code...You don't love someone because they're perfect...You love them in spite of the fact that they're not. Jodi Picoult
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Some moments are perfect, and then someone comes along and..."
Some moments are perfect, and then someone comes along and f*cks it up. Ain't it always the way. Laurell K. Hamilton
I told him about the Oedipal thing, about my father leaving when I was very young so I knew how to pine for men, but not how to love them. So he said, 'You'd probably would have been perfect for somebody in World War Two. You'd meet him and then he would get shipped overseas.' And I said, 'Maybe on our date I could drop you off and you could enlist,' and he said he would just got out and rent a uniform. So he was very funny. Carrie Fisher
