Perfect

Famous quotes containing the word perfect:

    You are disdainful and magnificent—
    Your perfect body and your pompous gait,
    Your dark eyes flashing solemnly with hate,
    Helene Johnson (b. 1907)

    I remember a very important lesson that my father gave me when I was twelve or thirteen. He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    There stood the purple spires with no breath of air
    Nor headlong bee
    To disturb their perfect poise the livelong day
    ‘Neath the alder tree.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
