Perfect

Famous quotes containing the word perfect:

    I want to die while you love me,
    And never, never see
    The glory of this perfect day
    Grow dim, or cease to be!
    Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886–1966)

    O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes,
    The poets labouring all their days
    To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
    Are overthrown by a woman’s gaze....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There was an artist in the city of Kouroo who was disposed to strive after perfection. One day it came into his mind to make a staff. Having considered that in an imperfect work time is an ingredient, but into a perfect work time does not enter, he said to himself, It shall be perfect in all respects, though I should do nothing else in my life.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
