Bette MidlerLife isn't perfect and that's the kind of world where Jesus showed up. He wasn't born in a palace on a perfect day.

It's messy. That's what Jesus was stepping into.

Dick CavettAccording to the bible, Heaven is completely perfect and Hell is completely evil. In Heaven, in order to keep everything completely perfect, everyone in it would have to follow a long, specific set of rules for it to be perfect. Heaven is prison. In Hell, everyone is already evil there, so no rules need to be set to make it completely evil. Hell is freedom.

Happiness is something we reach for while we try to learn from our disappointments.

Naya RiveraEven when I'm singing on record there's a lot of times when I'll fight for a bit of imperfection. I might not have quite hit the note to the perfect pitch, but there was a soul in there and feeling that,to me, delivers the emotion of that moment. For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not going to be perfect - that's the thrill of it.
Alicia KeysThe supposed great misery of our century is the lack of time; our sense of that, not a disinterested love of science, and certainly not wisdom, is why we devote such a huge proportion of the ingenuity and income of our societies to finding faster ways of doing things - as if the final aim of mankind was to grow closer not to a perfect humanity, but to a perfect lightning-flash.

Napoleon HillThe perfect life, the perfect lie, I realised after Christmas, is one which prevents you from doing that which you would ideally have done (painted, say, or written unpublishable poetry) but which, in fact, you have no wish to do.

Clive BarkerThe internet's perfect for all manner of things, but productive discussion ain't one of them.

Charlie BrookerDignity and quiet joy in all that we do are the expression of perfect concentration and perfect wisdom.

Patricia MacLachlanYou will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isnโt flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesnโt have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.
Richard BachYou know, things fall apart. You grieve. And then you sit around and wait for things to somehow get perfect again. But they donโt. They never can. There is no perfect. Thereโs just different. But different can be wonderful.

Anna QuindlenLove isnโt perfect. Itโs hard work and sometimes itโs more effort to be in love than it is to just run away. If you keep looking for perfect, the real thing is going to pass right by you.
Jay CrownoverTo all my friends, readers, and students: I apologize for not being able to write you directly, however the God and Goddess have given me new challenges to face. Upon hearing of all the support you are giving me, I am unimaginably grateful. I have no doubt that while there will be challenges to come, the God and Goddess will not be bringing me to the Summerland anytime soon. In perfect love and in perfect trust, Donald Michael Kraig
Donald Michael KraigWhen you put a halo on concepts - gender roles, religion, nationality or pride - or you put a halo on any topic - anything that you hold dear like the relationship between a father and son or a mother and daughter, what it means to be married or what it means to be single or what it means to be a free spirit or what it means to be an artist - if you just put a halo on something and say it's untouchable - "that is special and that is perfect" - you immediately close your eyes to the truth of it, because the truth is that nothing is perfect.
Dan ManganWe search out the most perfect pieces of rock. It's so amazing that these formations are so perfect for climbing on. It's almost as if they were created for climbing. You're taking these random rock formations and you're bringing to it this interaction. It transforms it from being this random rock into almost this piece of art. It's almost like a sculpture or something. Just by finding the handholds, finding that line up the rock. Every climb is different, has its own unique set of movements and body positions. Climbing and my appreciation for nature are totally intertwined.
Chris SharmaThe actors feel very free. The actor, he doesn't need to think about where the camera is, he just has to focus on what he's doing and forget the camera. The camera is never in the perfect position, and I think this is what keeps this feeling of reality. The frame is not perfect.

Alice WalkerUnfortunately, I think it's very difficult to separate policy from politics. In a perfect world, in some instances you probably would want to. In other instances you'd probably say that the political element is important because it should, in a perfect world, match what the stakeholders need or want, or what the public is after.
