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.
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
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.
The pursuit of perfection often impedes improvement.
There is a passion for perfection which you will rarely see fully developed; but you may note this fact, that in successful lives it is never wholly lacking.

Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it's a shield.
Often, when you've reached a very high level of achievement, you almost become paralyzed by the idea that anything you might do might be imperfect. Perfection is just the striving, the effort, the struggle, but it's hard to remember that.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Perfection itself is imperfection.
