Nearly all creators of Utopia have resembled the man who has toothache, and therefore thinks happiness consists in not having toothache.... Whoever tries to imagine perfection simply reveals his own emptiness.
GEORGE ORWELL, Why Socialists Don't Believe in Fun
There’s no such thing as a perfect guy. I think it would be strange if somebody was absolutely everything you always wanted, because then there’d be no challenge. Also, you’d feel inferior. If somebody is that perfect, how can you not think of yourself as being so imperfect next to him? I think people are perfect in their imperfections.
JESSICA ALBA, Maxim Magazine, Nov. 2003
Perfection falls not to the share of mortals.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to John Jay, Aug. 1, 1786
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
