People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Perfection is a trifle dull. It is not the least of life's ironies that this, which we all aim at, is better not quite achieved.
Some people strive for perfection, but I often find perfection boring.
I'm pretty aware that the pursuit of perfection is, inherently, a flawed concept.
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.
There's an inherent danger in letting people think that they have perfected something. When they believe they've 'nailed it,' most people tend to sit back and rest on their laurels while countless others will be labouring furiously to better their work!
It's all about perfection, isn't it?
I try to recognize that there is no such thing as having it all - and it's impossible to be perfect. You just have to let certain things go.
Perfection doesn't exist.
There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
