Famous quotes containing the words helps, achieve and/or perfection:
“It especially helps if you know that we’re all faking our adulthood—even your parents and their parents. Beneath these adult trappings—in our president, in our parents, in you and me—lurk the emotions of a child. If we know that only about ourselves, we become infantile; if we understand that about everybody, then we have nothing to be ashamed of—unless, of course, we go around acting like a child and expecting everyone else to act like grownups.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“As long as they desire the same object, they are of one mind, but having to achieve the same thing immediately disrupts their unanimity.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Things out of perfection sail
And all their swelling canvas wear....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
