Well Isn’t That Just Perfect
Um, probably not. But we consider this to be the perfect collection of quotes about perfection.
It’s funny how much time people spend convincing themselves perfection is unattainable. This seems especially true of artists, for instance:
The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.
-Eugene Delacroix
Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.
-Salvador DalĂ
I think they just borrowed this idea from philosophical types to justify drinking so much and hanging out all day with naked women:
This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.
-Saint Augustine

-George Orwell
In the end, I think Churchill says it best:
They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds.
-Winston Churchill
