Perfectionism attaches to what is valued in the culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Culture is properly described as the love of perfection; it is a study of perfection.
Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it's a shield.
Perfectionists demand perfection from themselves first and foremost.
I like the ideology of there being no such thing as perfection. But I'm of the opinion that I have witnessed perfection at various times, especially in art.
It's all about perfection, isn't it?
Perfection itself is imperfection.
I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy.
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.
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.
